Bug#33826: section 3.4.2 clarify naming .sh scripts in /etc/init.d/



Package: debian-policy
Version: 2.4.1.2



-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.0
Kernel Version: Linux debian 2.0.34 #2 Thu Jul 9 10:57:48 EST 1998 i686 unknown

Sentence 2 of paragraph 1 says: "These scripts should be named /etc/init.d/package,"
when should scripts have a .sh suffix?

rc and rcS scripts optimize by sourcing .sh scripts
All bash scripts could be sourced

Should all scripts be bash scripts
or should all bash compatible scripts have a .sh suffix
Is the .sh suffix just a matter of historical use or does it matter?
