[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#452645: README.policy-rc.d is unclear and should provide example

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-38.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d


README.policy-rc.d says that a policy-rc.d script should exit with 0 if the
action is allowed. However it does not explicitly state that this will override
the runlevel checks done by invoke-rc.d. This is quite surprising and should be
made more clear.

Actually, README.policy-rc.d should provide an example for a policy-rc.d script
that does nothing, i.e. that gives _exactly_ the same behaviour as if the
policy-rc.d script was not present.
