Now that a bunch of stuff has been upstart-ified (is that the word?), invoke-rc.d $JOB reload doesn't work anymore.

I think this means that we should do something like

if [ -e /etc/init/gdm.conf ]; then
    reload gdm
elif hash invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    invoke-rc.d gdm reload
else
    /etc/init.d/gdm reload
fi

Otherwise nothing kicks gdm.

LPRng's lpr theoretically provides compatibility with a SysV-style lp command when invoked with argv[0] set to "lp". LPRng provides an lp -> lpr symlink for this reason, which we transform to mit-lp -> mit-lpr.

Of course, because we changed the name of the program, we don't trigger LPRng's detection of what it's running as:

Lines 414-417 from src/common/lpr.c in debathena-lprng:

        /* check to see if we simulate (poorly) the LP options */
        if( name && safestrcmp( name, "lp" ) == 0 ){
                LP_mode_JOB = 1;
        }

This detection is actually relevant for anybody using lp, beacuse lp uses -d to specify a print queue instead of -P.

This means you get screwed if you use our lp wrapper on an LPRng queue, which I'm sure nobody does.

At build time, libathdir saves the value of ATHENA_SYS as a compiled-in default in case the users environment is wacky. However, we don't set ATHENA_SYS usefully in the build chroots, so it ends up with amd64_deb50 for all platforms, which is wrong.

We should set ATHENA_SYS correctly when building libathdir. We can do this by build-depending on machtype, and using that to get the sane value.
