Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mailman

The following is located in the mailman init(8) script:

    if [ "$(/var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists -b | grep ^mailman$ )" = "" ]; then
        log_warning_msg "Site list for mailman (usually named mailman) missing."
        log_warning_msg "Please create it; until then, mailman will refuse to 
start."
        exit 0;
    fi

However, the /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py file allows you override
MAILMAN_SITE_LIST which in turn lets you chose a name other than
"mailman" for the site list.

Because the init script does not pay any attention to this - the
MAILMAN_SITE_LIST is rendered useless.
