[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#339955: Does not source .sh scripts

[Thomas Hood]

retitle 339955 sysv-rc: Does not source .sh scripts
severity 339955 minor
stop

Severity is minor because the consequence is, at most, a small difference in speed
on systems where the admin could enable "sourcing" if it were possible (which it
currently is not).

The only reason for assigning this a higher severity would be that it reports a
policy violation.  However, if policy _is_ currently _requiring_ that sysv-rc
source /etc/rcS.d/*.sh (and I don't see the sense of interpreting policy §9.3.1
that way, especially considering the fact that §9.3.1 pertains only to sysv-rc,
not to file-rc) then policy should be amended.  We _don't_ want initscripts to
start performing environment variable tricks and we _do_ want to be able to run
.sh scripts in parallel.
