GitLab Omnibus 7.9.0 for Raspberry Pi 2 not cleaning up /etc/inittab after uninstall

After uninstalling 7.9.0 for Raspberry Pi 2, syslog frequently spit out the following errors:

Apr 23 08:18:08 INFRA-RPi2 init: cannot execute "/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start"

Manually removing the following line from /etc/inittab seems to resolve the issue:
