Hello,
the 'initscripts' package has dependencies on lot of low-level stuff like
dev, e2fsprogs, ethtool... Because 'initscripts' are required by nearly
every daemon, these low-level tools will be installed everytime. E.g. a
simple ftp server will require LVM2 tools.
Possible solution:
* split 'initscripts' into the following subpackages:
- core with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions', '/sbin/service'; this is
required by daemons
- -startup with the currently shipped services (e.g. halt, killall),
the rc.* scripts
- -net with network related part
