Hi Mark,

yes I could look into it (not that experienced with all the workflows/I'll
have to look things up first).

I don't completely understand though... it seemed to me like Debian wasn't
supporting SysVInit anymore, so are they even thinking about putting any
work into fixing init scripts? It doesn't look like they care really, at
least for saned I have also noticed that statuses aren't reported correctly
when running `service --status-all` without any root privilege. And I think
some other things also weren't working correctly, like some scripts
wouldn't work but return 0 without root or something among those lines.

Thank you

Alexander
