[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#503200: avahi-daemon should be started via the start-stop-daemon

[Erik Braun]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.16-3etch1
Severity: wishlist


The avahi-daemon should be started via the start-stop-daemon.
The reason for this is, that it should not be started in a chroot'ed
environment, e.g. a NFS-exported R/O client root.

The start of an unwanted process in the changeroot-ed environment can
usually be avoided by a fake start-stop-daemon-script, that calls the real
start-stop-daemon not on the NFS server itself, but on all client hosts.

This approach fails for the avahi-daemon.
