Response to active removal of initscripts

[Joost van Baal-Ilić]

Hi Mark,

Thanks a lot for reporting these bugs!

But: I read "Maintainers use their normal procedures for deciding which
patches to include." @ https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_002#textb

I'm afraid I don't have any concrete proposal on what to do now :(

Bye,

Joost
