thanks

I agree that replacing the word might make the text clearer.  I've
commited this change to svn, and it will be included in the next
release.

 Debian Policy dictates that /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must work properly
 when sourced.  The following additional rules apply:

-* /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts may not rely for their correct functioning
+* /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must not rely for their correct functioning
   on their being sourced rather than executed.  That is, they must work
   properly when executed too. They must include "#!/bin/sh" at the top.
+  This is useful when running scripts in parallell.

 * /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must conform to the rules for sh scripts as
   spelled out in the Debian policy section entitled "Scripts" (§10.4).
