Bug Description

Binary package hint: git-daemon-run

Post Install script of git-daemon-run refers to /etc/inittab that is not in ubuntu/debian distros (afaik). While this error was seen when install git-daemon-run 1.5 (from backports repo) on Feisty, the same error was seen when installing git-daemon-run 1.4 (stable repo) on the same machine.
