It won't, but thankfully there are fewer and fewer packages that don't follow the recommendation of Policy 9.3.3.2.[1] If you find such a package, please file a wishlist bug against it requesting that the follow the recommendation of Policy not to call the init scripts directly. Don Armstrong 1: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.3.3 -- A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain. -- Anatole France http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
