When I noticed that it was intentional, I brought it up on #debian-qa for that very reason, we (in particular Christoph Berg and me) came to the conclusion that it is indeed a policy violation and thus an RC bug. Overriding the local administrator's preference (that the invoke-rc.d is designed to cater for) counts as one of the heavier sins in the Debian policy book. > Hmm - it's a shame to have such a discussion without actually involving > the package maintainer... I usually try to hunt down the maintainer if there is doubt and, naturally, would prefer to leave the resolution of bugs in packages you maintain to you. Here, there seemed to be little doubt and you apparently had not answered the bug report yet. Now that you're clearly available, we value your expertise and look forward to either you fixing the bug or learn about your insights into the deficiencies of using invoke-rc.d. Please do not hesitate to contact me on IRC (tomv_w e.g. on #debian-qa) or via mail if I can be of any help. Thanks again for attending to this bug!
