However, I reported this bug ten years ago when I still ran sysvinit, and I no longer have any interest in attempting to further enhance it.

Checking this condition /inside/ initscript has neglectable cost (like several /bin/sh processes) and gives you flexibility to check for conditions of arbitrary complexity. Closing. You still can try to convince upstream maintainer. -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days. Please, mention in body of your reply when you add or remove recepients.
Bug#545174: insserv: Please add simple if conditionals to disable scripts
Package: insserv Version: 1.12.0-10 Severity: wishlist Some scripts only need to run if some other subsystem does not. For example, hwclock and hwclockfirst should only run if udev does not. Currently, they must do so by always running, and checking the condition they need. However, the condition only changes when the set of init scripts changes; thus, ideally the script could just have no start/stop links when it need not run. I'd propose something like this: X-Ignore-If: udev - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii initscripts 2.87dsf-2 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii sysv-rc 2.87dsf-2 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils2.87dsf-2 System-V-like utilities insserv recommends no packages.
