Bug#491318: init scripts "should" support start/stop/restart/force-reload - why not "must"?



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.0.1
Severity: minor

     The `start', `stop', `restart', and `force-reload' options should be
     supported by all scripts in `/etc/init.d', the `reload' option is
     optional.

Is there any reason not to upgrade "should" to "must"?  What is the
point of an init script that does not support those arguments?
