Package: openjdk-7-jre-headless
Version: 7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1
Severity: serious
Justification: dpkg fails when configuring the package

Dear Maintainer,
The java package is missing the dependency to "initscripts":

$ LANG=C dpkg --configure -a
Setting up openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64.postinst: 18: /var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64.postinst: mountpoint: not found
the java command requires a mounted proc fs (/proc).
dpkg: error processing package openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of icedtea-7-jre-jamvm:amd64:
 icedtea-7-jre-jamvm:amd64 depends on openjdk-7-jre-headless (= 7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1); however:
  Package openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 is not configured yet.

$ sed -n '18p' /var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-7-jre-headless\:amd64.postinst 
    if ! mountpoint -q /proc; then

$ mountpoint
The program 'mountpoint' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install initscripts
mountpoint: command not found
