Comment 4 for bug 65587

My point is that this is the only initscript in the world which has a "don't forget to tweak the obscure ACTUALLY_DO_WHAT_I_SAY setting" warning to it. Worse still, it doesn't even have the warning _attached_ to it, you have to find out by debugging the initscript.

I doubt I'm the only person who's going to be confused by this. Everyone will assume that making a link to rcX.d will turn avahi on at startup, not having a link will leave it turned off.

Can you explain why that was not acceptable? Why does avahi-daemon need to do it differently?
