 * DEBORPHAN: get rid of all packages listed in output of deborphan
 
+* FILE_RC: instead of using systemd as init system use file-rc instead. file-rc

+starting with beginning of 2016 Grml switched to systemd instead. If you want to
+build a live system in the old style using file-rc instead of systemd then enable

+maintained (the Grml team happily accepts patches though) and file-rc (upstream
+wise) might disappear too.

 * FRESHCLAM: execute freshclam (if it's present) to update clamav definitions
 (increases resulting ISO size ~70MB). By default it's skipped to avoid bigger
 ISO size.
