Fixed manpage in git. > Indeed. The question is, should it? Or should it instead pass a sanitized > value? init.d scripts absolutely need $PATH, yes.

If someone calls it manually on a shell through sudo or su, those two already sanitize the environment, I don't think we should duplicate this in more places.
