While you are correct, the current problem isn't lack of low hanging fruit to fix in the files dir, as he said there's 700 packages on the list already, too many to file individual bugs for. So while it is indeed worthwhile to keep in mind the init-scripts installed from SRC_URI... There's seven hundred "miles of open road" to cross before we have to worry about that SRC_URI bridge, so maybe worry about that when we're within 50 or 100, or even a couple hundred, "miles", not 700. =:^] -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
