Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-62 Severity: minor Hi,
I usually boot my kernel with a "quiet" command line since I don't want the system to spew screenfuls of init messages before the splash screen takes over. This, as a - surprising - side effect causes /lib/init/vars.sh to set the VERBOSE environment variable which in turn causes an init script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton to totally silence itself. This comes as a surprise. IMO, the wish to have a noiseless system start does not include the wish that an init script which may be invoked from the command line days later does not give any feedback about its operation. Please consider returning the skeleton init script to the behavior that is common for init scripts, which is not honoring a VERBOSE environment variable to switch off the log_foo calls.
