As I understand you, I need to convince the upstream maintainer to switch to LSB style initscript. I can try doing that. The initscript has some weird function, which might be optionally used by the user, to exchange ssh keys, so that the dump is copied to the server using ssh (scp). The function has no place in the initscript, but RedHat prefers to do it, that way. I've placed that key exchange, as part of postinst. If, for some reason, the upstream maintainer doesn't wish to modify the initscript, to adhere to LSB recommendations, then, do I have an alternative way to resort to?
