Package: debhelper Version: 9.20130630 Severity: normal Hi Joey,
As you're undoubtedly aware, we've been using LSB headers in place of static sequence numbers for a good couple of releases now. With wheezy, we migrated completely away from static ordering to dynamic ordering. This means that the "start nn n n" and "stop nn n n" parameters are now essentially pointless--update-rc.d has long ignored them when dependency-based boot was in use. For wheezy in practice it will always ignore them since dependency-based boot is required. In jessie we removed start and stop entirely; they still exist internally, but are just aliases for "defaults", and issue a warning if used; all runlevel information is obtained from the LSB headers. It would be great if dh_installinit could stop calling update-rc.d with start or stop arguments, but initially just warning if the params contains "start" or "stop" arguments would be a good first step. I'm not sure of whether it's practical or not to just pass "defaults" if "start" or "stop" are detected--I imagine there might be complications, so just warning might be better? I'll also look at getting lintian warnings added which should be able to pick up dh_installinit and update-rc.d usage and also warn.
