Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.1
Severity: normal
Section 9.3.3.2 "Running initscripts" reads:
The program invoke-rc.d is provided to make it easier for package
maintainers to properly invoke an initscript, obeying runlevel and
other locally-defined constraints that might limit a package's right to
start, stop and otherwise manage services. This program may be used by
maintainers in their packages' scripts.
The program must use invoke-rc.d to invoke the /etc/init.d/* initscripts,
instead of calling them directly.
What does "the program" refer to in the second paragraph? The only "program"
that is mentioned previously (twice) is invoke-rc.d, but
invoke-rc.d must use invoke.rc to invoke ...
doesn't make sense.
What requirement is this paragraph trying to express?
- The maintainer scripts must use invoke-rc.d ...
- Any scripts supporting the package must use invoke-rc.d ...
[e.g., cron, logrotate scripts]
- The software installed by the package must use invoke-rc.d ...
