Source: lsb Severity: wishlist Perhaps, /etc/default/rcS could be a better place for setting FANCYTTY variable, because this place is documented (man rcS) and also there is a variable VERBOSE that has a similar purpose and is defined in this file. The file /etc/default/rcS also exists by default on the newly installed Debian, and, thus, changing the way how the messages are displayed can be less confusing for users.
Evidently, if you decide to use /etc/default/rcS for this setting, this file should *not* be simply sourced from /lib/lsb/init-functions. Instead, you may use something like FANCYTTY=$([ -e /etc/default/rcS ] && . /etc/default/rcS && echo $FANCYTTY) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (200, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.16-1-minimal (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
