Bug#1100955: initscripts: Wants to remove the running kernel

[Mark Hindley]

Control: reassign -1 kmod

Bjarni,

Thanks.

This is caused by the version of kmod that dropped /etc/init.d/kmod not having
migrated to testing [1]

Apt is doing the right thing here and waiting until initscripts and kmod can be
upgraded in sysnc as determined by Breaks.

Don't try to force it because it has the undesired effects you observe.

Once a suitable version of kmod migrates, I think this will resolve. But since
the kmod autopkgtest regressions are causing the failure to migrate, I will
reassign.
