I'd like to suggest that this should only be done for daemons where there is anything that a sysadmin can sensibly configure in this way. The patch proposed for #712167 (native Upstart init support in dbus) did this, but after checking the available command-line options in dbus-daemon, I couldn't actually find any command-line options that can be changed by a sysadmin without breaking system integration; so I think it's OK that the systemd unit doesn't read /etc/default/dbus, and I don't think the (potential future) Upstart job should either. If dbus-daemon had command-line options that made sense as local configuration, then reading /etc/default/dbus would be fine, but I've tried to avoid that in favour of having anything locally-configurable only be available in the (XML) configuration files, and not on the command-line: see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712167#20 for more on command-line options vs. configuration. (Perhaps this means /etc/init.d/dbus should stop reading /etc/default/dbus...) S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
