Source: ltsp
Version: 5.2.8-1
Severity: important

Your package is currently using/lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d
which is now deprecated and pending removal.  Please update your
package to use /run/sendsigs.omit.d with a versioned dependency
on initscripts, as detailed below.

An overview of the /run transition and its current progress is
available at http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory
Basically, it's now in both testing and unstable, and the next
phase of the transition is to migrate all users of /lib/init/rw
over to /run and then remove /lib/init/rw entirely for wheezy
(as soon as this transition is complete).

Your package is one of the users of sendsigs.omit.d listed here:
http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory#Packages_using_.2BAC8-lib.2BAC8-init.2BAC8-rw

Recommendations for how to do the transition may be found here:
http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory#How_to_transition_from_.2BAC8-lib.2BAC8-init.2BAC8-rw_to_.2BAC8-run.3F

For sendsigs.omit.d, we would recommend that you:

* Depend on initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3)
* Replace *all* usage of /lib/init/rw with /run
* Move all files in /lib/init/rw to /run in the package postinst, for
  example:

    if [ -f /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/foo ]; then
        mv /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/foo /run/sendsigs.omit.d/foo
    fi


Regards,
Roger
