Subject: halt and reboot should not be installed under the Hurd

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.85-20
Tags: sid
Severity: important

This package includes "halt" and "reboot" commands. But under the Hurd,
these commands are provided by the hurd package. So when arhitecture is
hurd-i386, they shouldn't be installed. (For example, the Hurd has no
/dev/initctl.) As a workaround, "reboot -f" can be used.

I've set severity to important, because the only way to reboot Hurd
system becomes "reboot -f" which is not trivially guessed.
(Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work.)
