Do you think we should drop it completely or just reduce it to info? I think having a description is rather nice and may help figure out where an init script abandoned by some previous package came from without having to do as much research. It still feels like a best practice thing even if it isn't used by software. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
