Comment 7 for bug 251985

After doing some further testing and comparisons, dropping the "-p" (pidfile) param to status_of_proc() in karmic is not needed since it actually returns 3 (program is not running), when the service is stopped.

This seems to be a problem with Jaunty, because in jaunty it returns 4 (program or service is unknown) instead of 3 (program is not running). I've also seen this behaviour in other scripts, such as /etc/init.d/ssh and /etc/init.d/lighttpd.

Now, I'm guessing this could be a bug in LSB. I'll consult this issue with Dustin Kirkland to find the adequate solution for Jaunty. Meanwhile, please sponsor this upload.
