debian-sysv-helpers-missing

Starting with Debian "Trixie" 13 (but not limited to it), this repository shall provide files for supporting sys-v init in certain packages that dropped support for sys-v in favor of systemd.

The files are provided in the form of Debian packages (*.deb), which will be built when running the provided "build_debs.sh" shell script.

The *.deb files are generally named after the original packages for which they provide missing files.

For instance, if the name of the original package was "mdadm", then this repository will provide a package named "mdadm-sysvinit-helper" which will install the files for sys-v init support which have been removed from newer versions of the "mdadm" package.

The packages provided by this repository normally depend on the original packages as dependencies.

Which means one does not need to manually install both "mdadm" and "mdadm-sysvinit-helper". It will be sufficient to install "mdadm-sysvinit-helper", and "mdadm" will be installed automatically as a required dependency.
