Bug Description

[SRU justification]
Error message polluting the installation

[Impact]
Wrongfully implies a problem with the installation

[Fix]
Remove unneeded dh_installinit override

[Test Case]
Install kdump-tools on Xenial. Without the fix, the installation will complain with :

update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults

This message does not appear with the fix

[Regression]
None expected. update-rc.d default is used as a fallback.

[Original description of the problem]

When installing kdump-tools, the apt-get outputs:

Setting up kdump-tools (1:1.5.9-5) ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults

---------------
makedumpfile (1:1.6.0-2) sid; urgency=medium

  * define_stampdir() : Loop on hostname -I for 5 sec to get IP address
    if HOSTTAG=ip. The network stack may not be ready when kdump-config runs.
    Give it some time before reverting HOSTTAG to hostname if an IP address

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ Hari Bathini <email address hidden> ]
  * Fix networked kdump failure to reach remote server.
    Avoids "Network is unreachable" message when trying to do remote dumps on
    either SSH or NFS. (LP: #1571590)

  * Replace maxcpus by nr_cpus
    nr_cpus is a hard limit that has an impact on the (kdump) kernel
    memory consumption, while it is not the case with maxcpus=1, as we can
    theoretically hotplug cpus with maxcpus=1 (LP: #1568952)

  * define_stampdir() : Loop on hostname -I for 5 sec to get IP address
    if HOSTTAG=ip. The network stack may not be ready when kdump-config runs.
    Give it some time before reverting HOSTTAG to hostname if an IP address
    cannot be found. (LP: #1599561)

  * Add cio_ignore result to /etc/default/kdump-tools on s390x
    In order to have crashkernel=128M to work correctly on the s390
    architecture the result of cio_ignore -u -k needs to be appended to the
    KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND variable in /etc/default/kdump-tools. This patch
    adds the required logic to do the proper modification. (LP: #1570775)

  * debian/rules : drop the dh_installinit override
    Uses a syntax which is no longer supported and generate an error on
    install. (LP: #1599491)
