It may be, but keeping backwards compatibility in this case can't hurt
much. Although I'd like to hear other opinions on this.

Thanks for the clarifications.  I hadn't considered the situation of 
people having really old versions of packages installed.  Probably 
something to file away under Things to keep in mind ;-)


Regards,

Dave.

Hi,

I don't want to be a pest (given I'm not a developer or maintainer), but
 I'm just curious - why the conditional?

AIUI invoke-rc.d is in sysvinit - which is an Essential package.  Won't
the 'which' command always succeed?

TIA,

Dave.

Bug#438885: Mass bug filling: must use invoke-rc.d

2007-08-20 Thread Amaya 
Package: general
Severity: serious

As of Debian Policy Manual version 3.7.2, the use of invoke-rc.d to
run init.d scripts has been made mandatory. Earlier, its use was
strongly recommended.

In most cases the fix should be simple, replace this:

/etc/init.d/package action

with this:

if which invoke-rc.d /dev/null 21; then
invoke-rc.d package action
else
/etc/init.d/package action
fi

On May 13 and 14, I checked all packages in Debian sid, and found
that your package needs to be changed because of this policy change.
This bug is part of a mass-filing to get all such bugs fixed.
(See discussion starting at [1].)
