[gitlab at salsa.debian.org: Re: debhelper | dh_installinit: Remove the executable bits on package removal / dh_installsystemd: No longer mask system units on package removal (!90)]

[Mark Hindley]

Hi,

I have just received this from salsa as I was mentioned.

It appears Michael is suggesting updating dh_installinit to remove the x bit
from an initscript when a package is removed.

Comments welcome here or on the MR (I suppose).

Thanks

Mark

     Benefits for sysvinit users:
     * /etc/init.d/<TAB> will not list such services for uninstalled
       packages
     * one can quickly see via ls -l /etc/init.d which services are
       leftovers from uninstalled packages
     * insserv/startpar could be updated to handle such services more
       intelligently and avoid starting scripts during boot that are
       basically NOPs (test -x $DAEMON || exit 0) wasting unnecessary CPU
       cycles and making sure dependencies are actually fulfilled.
