Indeed, thanks. Will be fixed in the next release. I would not recommend against doing what you do above, however. If that package is removed but not purged, it's going to produce an annoying error message on every boot, which isn't normally how removed but not purged daemon packages should behave. It's typical (see Policy 9.3.2) to just exit silently when the /etc/default file is not present. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
