I do agree that not having a 'status' init script command is, to put it mildly, a major nuisance, and I thank you for your work on it! I don't, just at this moment, have an opinion on whether this should be considered a serious bug, I'll have to think about it a bit more. However, well, yeah, I guess that this shows once again that I need to prepare and propose an update to stunnel in stable; the fact is, this problem, previously reported as #548974, was fixed as part of my adopting stunnel and updating it to version 5.00 in unstable and testing. So... do you think it would be possible for you to take a look at my work on stunnel in unstable? If it is not very convenient, you could just wait a couple of days, I'll prepare at least a backport (containing all the changes and the update to stunnel-5.00) and, quite possibly, also a proposed stable update (containing only some important fixes) within the next day or two. All I've done for stunnel is available in a Git repository at git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/stunnel.git and also viewable via HTTP at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/stunnel.git Thanks again for your willingness to improve stunnel and your actual work on preparing a patch!
