For me it looks like it should be removed.
Hi, I believe that the intention of the code is that the error handling is performed if and only if exec fails, e.g. because "$DAEMON" is not executable. The upstream version of the init script has the exec without the RC handling, which seems to indicate that the exec is intentional. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
