- A maintainer recently peremptorily removed support for upstart
- from one of their packages.
-
- The Technical Committee thanks Steve Langasek for bringing this
- matter to our attention. We are pleased that the maintainer has
- agreed to revert the disputed change.
+ The issue of init system support recently came to the Technical
+ Committee's attention again.[1]
For the record, the TC expects maintainers to continue to support
the multiple available init systems in Debian. That includes
merging reasonable contributions, and not reverting existing
support without a compelling reason.
