I don't want to blame anyone here but there has already been a problem with the 
debian-package of polipo in the past which leads to unusual behavior which 
can't be reflected from "normal" polipo users and isn't documented in any 
polipo documentation. Also the README.Debian talks not about this problem.

The debian startup script !forces! polipo into offline mode when no 
network-connection can be found during startup. So if you start your network 
connection after polipo gets started during boot you have an unusable polipo 
and have to restart it.

I already wrote a patch for this startup-script and posted it on this ML and on 
launchpad and to the maintainer.

In generally I think the changes/additions a maintainer does should be way 
better documented because it was a real hassle for me to debug this problem 
because noone could reproduce it and nowhere could anything be found about it.

And those are no additions anyone would expect if downloading polipo from his 
repos.

cheers
