Thanks for the report. I wasn't aware of this issue.
It seems the "start" and "stop" arguments are now deprecated. Roger Leigh
announced this debian-devel.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/05/msg01109.html
We should go with the flow and stop using "start" and "stop". Here's the
postinst code that needs to be changed.
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/resolvconf" ]; then
update-rc.d resolvconf start 38 S . stop 89 0 6 . >/dev/null ||
exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section
This arises from the following line in debian/rules.
dh_installinit --no-start -- start 38 S . stop 89 0 6 .
I see that Roger Leigh has opened a report (#717592) against debhelper
asking that dh_installinit not pass through "start" and "stop". But we
shouldn't rely on this.
I guess the debian/rules line should be simply the following.
dh_installinit --no-start
