Bug#668404: xbmc-live: dependency on upstart prevents using xbmc with sysvinit

 

severity 668404 important
stop

Thanks for your report. xbmc-live requires upstart to be installed.
Note that xbmc-live is not necessary to install and use the xbmc
package.

I did not find anything in policy that says packages cannot require
the use of another init system. The only language I found pertaining
to this is Debian policy 9.3, which pertains to how maintainer scripts
should be provided for the init system, and has language like "should"
or "may" and not "must" or "require." I'm downgrading this bug to
important.
