You are misinterpreting the severity of the situation with a personal
attack or some hyperbolic raving on my part.
If an auto mechanic gives back an owner's car and it's on fire with the
engine and doors missing, it's not unreasonable for the mechanic to get
yelled at, no matter what his intentions were.
There is no engine in these init scripts. The bug is that the code is
missing. Most of these scritps are four short lines long beyond the
common header. There is no code to provide any of the required functions
like status, stop, restart, etc. Start works for some of them, but
that's it.
Please see the following:
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.3.2
Also all of the man pages have various errors. Man courier and grep for
"man.base.url.for.relative.links" in the NOTES section down at the
bottom. All of the man pages I looked at had various errors like this.

J, you probably should not fill bugs when you are pissed.
This bug report is not a bug report, but a complaint. If you have
anything you want to fix, you should say it. You are also more then
welcome to send patches or join the effort to package Courier MTA in
Debian as you clearly use it and understand the problems with the
packages.
