Hello,

The package sysvinit has a new upstream version and had packaging changes in Ubuntu.

Added two diff files:
 * 1-sysvinit_3.01-1_3.01-1ubuntu1.debdiff that shows the diff between the vanilla version from Debian and the merged version for Ubuntu.
 * 1-debian-2.96-7ubuntu2_3.01-1ubuntu2.diff that shows the diff between the previous version from ubuntu (2.96-7ubuntu2) and the new version.

The changes that remain are:
    * When building for Ubuntu, we only build the sysvinit-utils binary package ; as opposed to sysvinit-utils, sysv-rc, initscripts, and bootlogd in Debian.
    * We set the DEB_HOST_* variables in debian/rules if they are not already set (i.e., in the environment).

Change that was dropped:
 * Long lines in debian/po/es.po were split in the previous version in Ubuntu. It seems to be a harmless change but I thought it was unnecessary to do so in Ubuntu specifically (or we should split them in Debian too). I would happily split them back if needed.

I also uploaded the resulting merge in the following ppa:

Thanks,
