I'm sorry, but those two bugreports are definitely not the same. They
argue about the same thing, but they head towards two different
solutions.
And #602186 is not more than a wishlist bug. "service" is far from
being a standard like invoke-rc.d is.
The standard for maintainer scripts is to use invoke-rc.d and calling
the init.d script directly if that command is not available.
But checkrestart's output is not for maintainer scripts, so IMHO, Jörg
(submitter of #602186) has a valid point when he says that "service"
may be better suited for manual calling by admins as it seems to clean
up the environment first.
Javier: What do you think about this?
Regards, Axel (with his debian-goodies co-maintainer hat on)
