Public bug reported:

Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11
Ubuntu: 3.14-4ubuntu1
Debian Unstable: 3.15-5

A new release of sysvinit is available for merging from Debian Unstable.

If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the
tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the
title as desired.

entry to the resolute Release Notes:
