debian/fscklog.sh is a proposed script for rotating the fsck log.
Currently, we overwrite the log files on every boot so there is
no need to rotate them.

+dependencies
+------------
+sysvinit Pre-Depends on initscripts, sysv-rc | file-rc so that the
+conffiles in the old monolithic sysvinit package are taken over by
+the initscripts package. (Only a Pre-Depends is strong enough to
+ensure that the conffiles are taken over without an orphanic hiatus.)
+Strictly speaking we can drop this dependency now since everyone is
+either installing anew or else has upgraded to sarge; and Debian does
+not support skip upgrades. However, I don't see any harm in keeping
+this dependency around until after etch releases. But then it should
+definitely go away.
+
+initscripts has strange Dependencies ${glibc:Depends}, ${mount:Depends}
+which resolve to the null string. I'd like to remove these.
+
+These packages have ceased to exist and we continue to Replace and Conflict
+with them in order to force them off systems: last, mdutils, libc0.1.
