[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#362888: sysv-rc: meaning of may and must

[Bart Martens]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-14
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

In the file /etc/init.d/README I read "scripts may not rely".  I think
that this should be "scripts must not rely".  The rest of the text seems
to confirm that.  Patch attached.

 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.
