Subject: sysv support to stubby (attached the necessary files)

Package: stubby
Version: 1.6.0-2
Severity: severe

Dear maintainer

The current stubby package in Debian and Devuan only works with systemd and has no sysv support, so it is unusable as there is no daemon running on a sysv system like Devuan.

I have reported this bug to Debian with normal severity and suggested backporting to the current stable: https://bugs.debian.org/1008931

For Devuan the category is severe because it makes the package unusable or mostly, and I consider that (rather than being an important package for security) the fixed package should be integrated in the main, update or security branch of stable, not in the optional and often disabled backports.

Add sysv support to stubby would simply be to replace or merge the postinst, prerm and postrm attachments (containing sysv support) in place/with the currently packaged ones (exclusively systemd, so direct replacement is feasible for Devuan) plus incorporate /etc/init.d/stubby (the attachment is renamed to _etc_init.d_stubby) into the package.

The original author of the named _etc_init.d_stubby is Marcos Del Sol Vives.

Thanks for this.

However stubby is not a forked package in Devuan and we use Debian's packages
directly without recompilation.

Getting this fixed in Debian is therefore the correct way to go and Devuan will
automatically inherit the benefit.

Thanks.
