Little change on /lib/lsb/init-functions

[Taco Witte]

Hi,

Did the patch apply well? I made a new patch (against sysvinit original
with most recent Ubuntu patches), which can be found in bug 10197. (I
can send the new /sbin/init if you want.) To see if the patch for init
works, you can add an "export" line in /etc/init.d/rcS and see whether
INIT_QUIET is set or not.

Kind regards,
Taco
