post-install phase log file

the new systemd ebuild bumped today fails during post install with the following error:

 * ERROR: sys-apps/systemd-197 failed:
 *   The init.d file has syntax errors: /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/systemd-197/image///etc/init.d/README

I think the problem is that this README file should not be treated as an init script.

Update: Happens only with "audit" USE-flag ON, also happens with sys-apps/systemd-196 and +audit

Correction:

Happens with +audit on =sys-apps/systemd-196

Happens with +audit and -audit on =sys-apps/systemd-197

I am able to reproduce both scenarios every time.

Seems to be the case, I never used audit, 196 installed correctly, 197 failed.

Removing the etc/init.d/README file allows 197 to be installed.

It was caused by USE=vanilla earlier but the distro-specific stuff has been removed by upstream AFAIK. In the meantime, Zac has fixed portage to ignore non-executable /etc/init.d-files.

However, those files are plain stupid so I'll just remove them.
