Bug#1019529: sysv-rc: tries to install lsb-base, but svsinit-utils replaces files

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 3.05-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

Since version 3.05-1, sysvinit-utils provides its own
/lib/lsb/init-functions, thus replacing the one from lsb-base. sysv-rc
is however still depending on lsb-base.

The problem is that apparently debootstrap doesn't handle Replaces, and
thus ends up with 

I: Extracting sysvinit-utils...
E: Tried to extract package, but file already exists. Exit...

because it unpacked lsb-base then tried to unpack sysvinit-utils but
that ships a file already shipped by lsb-base. The same happens with
initscripts.

This is basically making any non-systemd debootstrap fail.

Could you please drop the dependency as the attached patch does?

Thanks,
Samuel
