dovecot - Nov 2010 - Debian package init scripts

Dearest list,

I am using dovecot with heartbeat-2 and I noticed that the init scripts
in the Debian packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ do not
conform to the LSB standard:
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
E.g. the return code for "program is not running" is not 3.

Is there is special reason for this?

Cheers Jan

Well, none in particular. The automated packages from Xi are directly
and (mostly) automatically based on the official Debian packages. I
haven't modified the init scripts and therefore it is not likely that
this problem is specific to the automated packages. So, please verify
whether this (mis)behavior is also present in the official packages and
report the bug over there (don't report without verifying first!).

And, what version did you install.. v1.2 or v2.0?
