Package: ppp
Revision: 2.2-1

/etc/init.d/ppp still sources /etc/init.d/functions which, I believe, was 
decided to be a no-no, since start-stop-daemon subsumed all of its 
functionality, and since any script that uses it is effectively disabled 
from command-line use because /etc/init.d/functions chews up its command 
line options.

Mike.
