Comment 3 for bug 1307883

This is likely due to initscripts having been transitively Essential due to util-linux depending on upstart-job in older releases and no longer doing so in trusty.

util-linux in Debian depends on initscripts, which keeps this stack Essential, and we should probably revert that tiny bit of our delta to do the same for now, unless we want to be more explicit about initscripts being truly Essential.

Either way, not depending on packages that aren't "Essential: yes", even if they're currently transitively Essential, is a bug But I'd prefer not tripping over this bug a few days before release either, so I think we should "fix" initscripts' status for now, and fix buggy packages later.
