That's all right. The default is "no", so you won't see such daemon
messages when implemented properly, but that's no problem. By sourcing
/lib/init/vars.sh you not only get these variables in a predictable
manner, but also proper site-local settings, as the script you mentioned
also sources:
# Source conffile
if [ -f /etc/default/rcS ]; then
. /etc/default/rcS
fi
Thus, in /etc/default/rcS you can make init scripts more verbose if you
want to.
