[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#530582: short comments for /etc/default/rcS

[martin f krafft]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

A user has hinted that this would be a good idea, and I agree. At
the very least, it doesn't hurt to have short comments in the file
to give a bit of guidance.
