Hello. Our policy says:
The start, stop, restart, and force-reload options must be supported
by all scripts in /etc/init.d, the reload option is optional.
Since /etc/init.d/gpm allows start, stop, restart and force-reload,
gpm is right, so this is a bug in xfstt at most.
I'm reassigning it to xfstt. Thanks!
BTW: If you are interested in our policy, it's available in the
"debian-policy" package, among others.
