I wrote <URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_init_d_boot_script_example_for_rsyslog.html > to explain the background for the init-d-script setup. The goal is to avoid code in the individual init.d scripts that is not _required_ to get them working, to make it possible to fix bugs in many scripts by modifying one file. Moving code from init-d-script to the individual init.d scripts thus seem like a step backwards. What about moving the init-d-script file to the same package containing /lib/init/vars.sh, which is needed by most init.d scripts and should be available on all Debian installations? It seem like a better idea to me. The init-d-script approach is used by several packages in Debian already. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
