Package: general
Version: N/A

I do not know what the policy is if there is any but I do know this.
/etc/init.d/xfstt takes "reload" as a valid argument to restart.
/etc/init.d/gpm   takes "restart" as the argument for restarting.

I don't know which is right, but I think standardizing this would be
excellent. It is a small thing though...thanks for debian! :)
