[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] "telinit -e" can result in unmodifiable vars?

I'd like to take up this issue separately:

I think that this should be considered a bug.  However, when I read init.c I
expect "telinit -e var=" to set var to the null string.

Do you observe var getting stuck in the unset state in practice?  If so, can
you explain why this happens?
