init.d-script-sourcing-without-test
The given /etc/init.d script seems to be sourcing an
/etc/default/ file without checking for its existence first.
Files in /etc/default/ can be deleted by the administrator at
any time, and init scripts are required to handle the situation
gracefully. For example:
[ -r /etc/default/foo ] && . /etc/default/foo
