This would still be a useful change to have in bullseye.
At the moment I just run this after installing mpt-status...
sed -n 's/^\(MAILTO=\|PERIOD=\|REMIND=\|RUN_DAEMON=\|ID=\)/#\1/p'
/etc/init.d/mpt-statusd > /etc/default/mpt-statusd
That way I have a slightly easier way of editing such options like
MAILTO= (for which e-mail address to send alerts to) or ID= (for which
RAID controller the service should watch)
