Is this policy? Perhaps you should post on debian-policy and try to make it
policy, too.
How does one determine the current runlevel is a shell script?
----- End of forwarded message from Joey Hess -----
Since this isn't currently the policy, I'm bringing it here. The issue is
whether we should check the runlevel before starting/stopping scripts. My
opinion is yes since I don't want to se daemons started when I'm doing dpkg -i
in single user mode.
One way of doing it easily is to replace
/etc/init.d/script start/stop
with
/etc/rcN.d/{S,K}??script start/stop
where N can be determined from /sbin/runlevel
