Subject: sysvinit-core: /etc/inittab should set pf to /sbin/shutdown

Package: sysvinit-core
Version: 2.93-8+devuan1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I made a Devuan container on Debian Bullseye by
mmdebstrap --components="main contrib non-free" --variant=standard beowulf /var/lib/lxc/devuan/rootfs http://deb.devuan.org/merged

"lxc-start -n devuan" starts the Devuan container with no problem,
but lxc-stop -n devuan does not stop it.

The reason is that /etc/inittab has

pf::powerwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail start

and there is no /etc/init.d/powerfail.

Changing the above line to
pf::powerwait:/sbin/shutdown -h now

enables "lxc-stop -n devuan" to work as expected.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
