- Your own init, I guess? There are two versions (well, three to be
- precise: yours, the older sysv-compatible init and the newer
- sysv-compatible init).

- Unfortunately there is now a conflict between your package and the sysv
- compatible package. We should try to work something out. I don't like
- that I have to decide which utilities from which package are better each
- time.

- Why is there a su? If I am right, the GNU shellutils also have one, and
- it works fine.
