Subject: ltsp: /etc/default/rcS shouldn't be modified

Severity: important

Hi,

while testing Debian Edu Stretch, the LTSP chroot generation failed 
recently. This was caused by a debconf question concerning the modified 
conffile /etc/default/rcS.

As far as I was able to find out this file is modified via
/usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian/025-var-rw-subdirs
like this:

case $MODE in
    install)
        echo "RAMRUN=yes" >> $ROOT/etc/default/rcS
        echo "RAMLOCK=yes" >> $ROOT/etc/default/rcS
        ;;
esac

As the package initscripts was installed later, the conflict was clear.
(BTW /etc/default/rcS is obsolete if systemd is in use.)

Further investigation showed, that RAMLOCK and RAMRUN are dealt with by 
tmpfs (/etc/default/tmpfs since the wheezy release with "yes" as 
default).

So I guess that 025-var-rw-subdirs should be removed.

Please check.

Wolfgang

This probably didn't show up before because initscripts was installed as
part of debootstrap, and so it modifed /etc/default/rcS after the
package was already installed, and now is installed later.

That said, this issue wasn't triggered for me when testing stretch or
jessie-backports installs; it seems initscripts isn't installed in a
default ltsp chroot anymore.
