[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#585769: /sbin/init: Startup scripts into /etc/rc2.d are not started !!

Dear Petter,

Regarding this method that you propose, i.e.

> Instead, try to save the script as /etc/init.d/rc2400, and make sure
> it have a header like this at the top:
>
> ### BEGIN INIT INFO
> # Provides:          rc2400
> # Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
> # Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
> # Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
> # Default-Stop:      0 1 6
> # Short-Description: Start script at boot time and stop at shut down
> # Description:       Enable service provided by daemon.
> ### END INIT INFO

Would it be possible to leave the /etc/init.d/SXXfile  (with chmod +rx
SXXfile) working like it was into the previosu distro of debian testing?

that would have an advantage of making it simple of use, since this
configuratino above it not mandatory.
A simple human way could also be interesting for Ubuntu users, which are
trying hard to understand linux, althought it is changing all the time. Look
for instance, posix and sh have changed radically, that cause a lot of
troubles on many servers Debian in the world, and people had to spend lot
fixing duties. posix had good but well that was an hard time.

Please if it could remain, so, the simple way could it remain like it was ?

Best regards / All the best
Y.
