If you want my opinion, then it is time to implement a proper policy layer for init.d scripts. We have policy-rc.d already in use by invoke-rc.d, so unless there is a reason why to keep two separate policies for dpkg and the administrator, we should just use it. I am thinking about making the policy layer mandatory to prevent invoking init.d scripts directly, if the policy forbids it. A package installing an init.d script would then also register itself with the policy layer and effect the init.d script to be disabled. Anyway, this is news from the future. I have started working on this stuff, so if anyone is interested, contact me (but I won't respond until the end of January). For your case, Tilman, I suggest following what others are doing and use /etc/default, which has become more or less a default on Debian. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
