Bug#1038903: initscripts: orphan-sysvinit-scripts needs to be a prerequisite, not optional.

[David Griffith]

Package: initscripts
Version: 3.06-4
Severity: important


When doing an upgrade of a Bullseye machine to Bookworm, I noticed that 
rsyslog stopped writing log entries.  There was no immediate clue as to 
what was going on.  After poking around online, I found Bug#1037039 
which said that rsyslog's init script was removed and that 
orphan-sysvinit-scripts would fix this problem.  Since that package is 
of no use unless sysvinit is being used and its absence leads to random 
packages (some important) not working at all; orphan-sysvinit-scripts 
should be a prerequisite.
