Hi,

For daemons that do not require clean shutdown to perform their
operation it is possible to not explicitly stop the daemon in
runlevels 0 and 6, and let sendsigs take care of stopping the
daemon.

This has been used in Ubuntu for a while to speed up the shutdown
process. The policy has recently been changed to make it compatible
with Debian, and so I am now forwarding you the patch that can
help to bring these benefits in to Debian.

Please consider applying the attached patch.

You will also need a postinst snippet to remove the existing stop
links. This will look something like

# Remove shutdown and reboot links; this init script does not need them.
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "<version where patch is applied>";
then
        rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K20nvidia-kernel /etc/rc6.d/K20nvidia-kernel
fi

So how is this applicable in nvidia-kernel-common where there is no
daemon to stop and calling the script with stop does nothing?

It saves the effort of calling the script if it does nothing.

I can see in /etc/init.d/rc that "# Debian Policy §9.3.1 requires .sh
scripts in runlevel S to be sourced".
So runlevel 1 corresponds to runlevel S in Debian et derivatives (stop me
and shout if this is not the case!)
So, the file is normally source, but we can also avoid to do that for
nothing.
