[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#427889: skeleton "start" and "stop" return values not LSB compliant

> I think the policy should change to be LSB compliant:

I am aware that there are slight differences between the LSB and the
Debian policy.  I have not investigated the situation myself, and do
not know what I believe is the best approach.  Two obvious options are
to change the policy or to change the LSB.  But I believe initscripts
should follow the Debian policy when it differs from the LSB, and that
the policy need to change before initscripts should implement
something that breaks with the Debian policy.  Are you proposing that
the skeleton script is changed to match the LSB in a way that would
break with policy?  A patch to know exactly what change you are
proposing would be very valuable.

Some info on these issues are available from

Happy hacking,
