Bug#865223: acct: new init script is broken

[Marcos Fouces]

Hello Lukas

I investigate more deeply this issue and i realized that i updated start 
and stop functions for no purpose. There is not any improvement with 
those change as the previous script performed well

I suggest reverting to the previous version that you can see here:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-security/acct.git/tree/debian/acct.init.d?h=debian/6.5.5-2.1

Perhaps we could add status option but i think that anymore changes are 
needed at this moment.

Greetings,
Marcos
