    See merge request debian/radvd!2

commit 2c89c47b6cfca1381d78aa9c62101593e709bdc8
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 15 22:37:59 2026 +0000

    Drop workarounds for old statoverride issue
    
    The bug was from 2016, so now 10 years later the cleanup can be
    safely dropped, allowing the removal of all maintainer scripts

commit 89fccf37e53bba01e7ad7973c5648836a1b599dc
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 15 22:35:40 2026 +0000

    Drop postinst workaround for init.d issue from 2009
    
    Version 1:1.3-1 was uploaded in 2009, so workarounds for
    such a version are long since unnecessary.

commit 8f9f899ca62a86c36904a868a062a8619a1edf39
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 15 22:33:55 2026 +0000

    Install and use sysusers.d config file
    
    sysusers.d config files allow a package to use declarative configuration
    instead of manually written maintainer scripts.
    This also allows image-based systems to be created with /usr/ only, and
    also allows for factory resetting a system and recreating /etc/ on boot.
