Bug#673207: /etc/default/rcS is perhaps a better place for FANCYTTY variable
Source: lsb
Severity: wishlist
Perhaps, /etc/default/rcS could be a better place for setting FANCYTTY
variable, because this place is documented (man rcS) and also there is
a variable VERBOSE that has a similar purpose and is defined in this
file. The file /etc/default/rcS also exists by default on the newly
installed Debian, and, thus, changing the way how the messages are
displayed can be less confusing for users.
Evidently, if you decide to use /etc/default/rcS for this setting,
this file should *not* be simply sourced from /lib/lsb/init-functions.
Instead, you may use something like
FANCYTTY=$([ -e /etc/default/rcS ] && . /etc/default/rcS && echo $FANCYTTY)
