Subject: Debian and init freedom (logging freedom?)

Message-ID: <c3bf49cd-7da6-5930-2d74-b32185ab3f0c@obarun.org> (raw)
While upgrading my antiX-sid (Debian) with s6 and 66 installed today I
got two interesting messages.
This is copy paste from the terminal screen. If systemd-log is on the
/etc/ files then you have nothing to worry about. :)
At least they ask whether you allow Lenny to sweep your /etc/ for you.
