Correct, the LSB per se imposes no requirements on the init scripts
included in Debian packages. (Policy does incorporate some
requirements that appear in the LSB, however.)

It is automated. low = 10 days, medium = 5 days, high = 1 or 2 days

FWIW, everything that you can do with xv can be done with some

The only advantage to xv is that the visua

Yep, I'm mad, if only because I've been dealing with 3 potential
developers who'd be real assets to this project, who are getting more
disillusioned with us daily because of crap like this.
