For the rationale of this, see [1] and [2]. However, when I still have a connection (just connect to the server with psql), the init script does not terminate, but hangs eternally. How did you test it to make it terminate silently? (That's the actual bug here IMHO). > This completely breaks some automated configuration management systems that > restart daemons when necessary. I see the conflicting interests here between not forcing 'fast'/'immediate' upon admins in some cases, but doing so in others. Looks like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation... > Please also check if an update in stable might be necessary; I > suspect so. No, Etch uses fast/immediate by default on restart.
