Package: burp
Version: 1.3.48-2
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
/etc/init/burp used to have a colon ":" at the last line of the file,
which seems to be a short form for "exit 0" in sh.

That line with the colon  went missing in burp-1.3.48-2. When VERBOSE is
set to no or commented out in /etc/default/rcS, this makes invoke-rc.d
think that the init script failed.

This leads to apt-get failing to configure the package, which will rest
in a half-installed state. Regardless of that, the burp server will
start successfully if configured accordingly in /etc/default/burp.

I'm not familiar with the debian policy on initscripts, but should an
init script not have an exit 0 at the end of the file?
