Package: rsync
Version: 3.0.7-1
Severity: normal

Hi Paul,

I read the changelog of 3.0.7-1 and I think the lintian override for
init.d-script-possible-missing-stop is wrong and most likely due to a
bad wording of the override.

In your case, removing the stop symlinks for 0 6 means, that you rely on
K??sendsigs to stop the rsync daemon.
But there is also also an equivalent for runlevel 1, named killprocs.
So if you don't need stop symlinks for 0 and 6, you most certainly also
don't need a stop symlink for runlevel 1. This is basically what this
lintian warning tries to explain.

So, instead of overriding the warning, I'd suggest to just remove the
symlink for runlevel 1.
(And if you feel like it, file a bug against lintian for a better
explanation of this lintian tag :-) ).

Cheers,
Michael
