Package: alsa-driver
Version: 1.0.15-1
Severity: normal
I just got the latest NEWS.Debian entry through apt-listchanges.
---
/etc/init.d/alsa is now stored as script in /usr/sbin:
# /usr/sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
This script isn't used in any rc?.d sequence. It doesn't conform to
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html section 9.3.2,
which prescribes {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}.
---
When I read this, I wonder... so what's the problem ? is there something I
should do to keep my sound setup working ? If not, why do they tell me that ?
So I looked further in the changelog and saw:
* Install obsolete alsa init-script to /usr/sbin and put a relevant
note in NEWS.Debian. (closes: #447539)
Is it really obsolete ? If yes, why do you keep it in the package ?
And why bother the admin with the move of an obsolete script ?
Please either remove that NEWS.Debian entry or reword it to explain
clearly what problems this move might cause and what actions I should
take.
Cheers,
