But this migration is not yet ready. OK, I'm working on dozens of init scripts across many packages, so I can't take the time to investigate any possible future plans of each one individually. If you remove this init script, then please ignore my submission. But as long as the init script exists, even if only for compatibility usage or whatever, please consider including my patch. As long as the init script is there, tools like chkconfig will use it for global status reports and such. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
