Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

When /etc/default/pulseaudio says that pulseaudio should not be started from the init script, a call to the init script with any arguments silently exits. Printing that nothing is being done because of the value in /etc/default/pulseaudio would make this less opaque.

    - 0026_work_around_suspend-on-idle_source_sink_race.patch
  * debian/control: Drop padevchooser(Recommends) and pavucontrol
    (Suggests) completely - functionality has been subsumed by
    jaunty's gnome-volume-control.
  * debian/pulseaudio.init:
    - Make initscript more informative in the default case of per-user
      sessions (LP: #259522),
    - Make initscript retry (until three-second timeout) if stopping
      fails when restarting (LP: #244414),
    - LSB {Required-*,Should-*} should specify hal instead of dbus,
      since hal is required (and already requires dbus) (LP: #244679)
  * Previous upload contains patches to close:
    LP: #193491, #268891, #295164, #298301

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * 0008_regen_autotools.patch: Pull some libtool 2.2 updates from git,
    and regenerate autotools glue.
  * debian/rules: Add --enable-static to force creation of libpulse.a,
    a side-effect of messing with the autotools files. This shouldn't
    be needed for the 0.9.14 release.
