[elbe-devel] Are Debian maintainer scripts executed by Elbe?

[Lukasz Walewski]

Hi,

I have problems understanding the following piece of the documentation at https://elbe-rfs.org/docs/elbeoverview-en.html:

"On regular Debian installations, init scripts installed by packages are
started automatically during the post-installation step. Please note that
Elbe will not start any services during package installation"

What I (think I) do understand, is what is meant here with:

1. "init scripts" - the scripts located in /etc/init.d etc, and run by init or systemd at system startup
2. "post-installation step" - the, so called, Debian maintainer scripts (e.g. postinst) run by dpkg while installing a package

What I do *not* understand is what "Elbe will not start any services during package installation" means, i.e. whether Elbe:

1. does not run maintainer scripts
2. does not run /etc/init.d scripts

The reason I'm asking is that I am installing the package initramfs-tools, whose postinst script on regular Debian installations generates the initramfs image in /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) but I don't see any in RFS build by Elbe. So the question arises, whether Elbe does not trigger the initramfs-tools' postinst or the image gets (re)moved after being generated?

Thanks & regards,
Lukasz
