[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#375183: invoke-rc.d: Uses hardcoded path to policy-rc.d

[Lars Wirzenius]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-14.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d

invoke-rc.d hardcodes the path to policy-rc.d. This means that a sysadmin
who wants to write a policy layer has to put it into /usr/sbin, instead
of /usr/local/sbin. This seems suboptimal.

Would it be possible to just rely on searching the $PATH to find the
policy-rc.d program?
