Package: elog
Version: 2.6.3+r1764-1
Severity: minor

Many of the shell variables used in /etc/ini.d/elog are neither unset, nor
initialized to safe/reasonable defaults.  At best this is not very robust
and could lead to unintended consequences.

I'd recommend creating '/etc/default/elog' with the following line to
explicitly clear variables used in elogd's argument list:
  unset PIDFILE CONFFILE LOGBOOKDIR RESOURCEDIR PORT HOST VERBOSE
