Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-25
Severity: normal
Calling the init script with the start action when the daemon is already
running or with the stop action when it is already stopped prints a
"failed" message and exits with code 1. The LSB specification requires
success and exit code 0 in these cases. Adding the --oknodo option for
start-stop-daemon ought to take care of that.

The gpm init script is now, I believe, Policy compliant. I didn't
literally use Jason's patch, but I did something fairly similar.
