Dear Maintainer,

systemd-standalone-tmpfiles does not ship with an initscript but by definition
this is needed by any user of the standalone package!

This has become more important now that a lot of packages in forky have had
fallback directory creation etc. removed from maintscripts and initscripts at
the same time as tmpfiles drop-ins have been added (not when I've added them).

Could an initscript be added, please? This ought to cover all non-systemd users
in one go as alternative init systems all fall back to these.

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi,

No, you could use it without an init system or an init system that
doesn't use non-FHS-compliant initscripts.
early-boot area:

Description: scripts for initializing and shutting down the system
 The scripts in this package initialize a standard Debian
 system at boot time and shut it down at halt or reboot time.


Early-boot differs between init systems and is hard to share...

For posterity, upstream refuses the patch and further recommends
package orphan-sysvinit-scripts.

Fortunately, there is now seedfiles as an alternative.
