There is no reply to the last BTS message.
The current setup does not follow the existing conventions. Also laid
out in the policy manual; thus repoening the bug.
9.3.2. Writing the scripts
--------------------------
Often there are some variables in the `init.d' scripts whose values
control the behavior of the scripts, and which a system administrator
is likely to want to change. As the scripts themselves are frequently
`conffile's, modifying them requires that the administrator merge in
their changes each time the package is upgraded and the `conffile'
! changes. To ease the burden on the system administrator, such
! configurable values should not be placed directly in the script.
! Instead, they should be placed in a file in `/etc/default', which
! typically will have the same base name as the `init.d' script. This
! extra file should be sourced by the script when the script runs. It
must contain only variable settings and comments in POSIX `sh' format.
It may either be a `conffile' or a configuration file maintained by
the package maintainer scripts. See Section 10.7, `Configuration
files' for more details.
