[Bug 1357713] Re: ifupdown and upstart can be removed

[Martin Pitt]

ubuntu-minimal depends on upstart and ifupdown, so supposedly you
removed that. This is really not a supported configuration.

As for upstart: Debian has a new essential package "init" which depends
on systemd-sysv | upstart | sysvinit. We could decide to adopt that.
Moving to init-system-helpers for that.

As for ifupdown: ;Most desktops, phones, etc. use dynamic network
configuration with NetworkManager, there is no essential need for
ifupdown.

But still, of course you can shoot yourself into the foot by randomly
removing packages. So just don't do that then :-)

** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) => init-system-helpers (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- ifupdown and upstart can be removed
+ Use essential "init" package to ensure that an init system is present
