After inspecting Jerome’s custom init script, it appreared it was buggy.

To my defence: 1] the buggy part was commented as obsoleted, 2] it contains more material,
in particular support for /etc/network/if-*.d

You're right, my sentence sounds like the whole init script was buggy, but that isn't the case. The context was about the supposedly "breakage" of the "-u" option expressed in [🔎] 55D503B7.7050909@rezozer.net

Sorry, if that offended you!

However I’ll have to find a way not to mess with users who set the default chronyd user in the init script instead of using the "user" directive in /etc/chrony/chrony.conf. To be honest I don’t see an easy way of doing it, so a first good step will probably be to add a "warning" in a NEWS file.

Note that regular users are not supposed to modify their /etc/init.d/chrony but they are supposed to configure properly their /etc/chrony/chrony.conf .

Sure, but it'd be great to mitigate upgrade issues for those that did so.

I modify my /etc/init.d/chrony mainly to get /etc/network/if-*.d support.
BTW, is PPP stuff still needed ?

Yes, there are still Dial-up only internet accesses here and there, but its
usage dropped significantly in favor of broadband Internet access.

In short, you may rather focus on #312092 and #633422

hth,
Jerome

Cheers,
Vincent
