2014-02-06: New init system feature!

The Debian Technical Committee has concluded that all of the available init systems were missing a key technical feature, and, in the spirit of free software, has gone ahead and fixed that lack. All init systems currently packaged for Debian can now double as test case generators for Condorcet vote analysis.

I'm not sure if this counts as an NMU.

Hoom.
