Re: initscripts package available for review/upload


I see no reason to release a new version just to rename a file, I'd like to
get some feedback from users first. Moreover, /etc/inittab is very easy and
clear file, initscripts package provides a ready-to-use-for-all version of
the file. That's why I want to make initscripts package available via setup
ASAP.
