One place that Debian packages like to hide useful bits of info
is /etc/default/.  This directory mostly contains values that
are read by the start/stop scripts in /etc/init.d (sometimes
called "initscripts").

I find that "grep -ri something /etc" can be very helpful when
you're stuck with a "where did it get this" kind of problem.
