[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#562500: initscripts: man rcS TMPTIME description wrong

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal

The manpage for rcS has a description for TMPTIME which says, "will be
deleted if their modification time is more than TMPTIME days ago".  This
is misleading.
/lib/init/bootclean.sh has:
 TEXPR="-mtime +$TMPTIME -ctime +$TMPTIME -atime +$TMPTIME"
The text should read something like: "will be deleted if their
modification time, file status time, and access time are all at least
TMPTIME days ago".
