 Hi,

 this is related to the repo.varnish-cache.org Debian packages.
 varnishncsa fails to start during boot because it will be started too fast
 (e.g. right after varnish itself) while varnish did not yet create that
 _.vsm file so varnishncsa can't find it and doesn't start. A detect and
 perhaps a very short delay might be good in this case. Example:

 {{{
 _count=0
 while [ ! -f $SOCKET -a $_count -lt 5 ]; do
     sleep 1
     _count=$((_count + 1))
 done

 if [ ! -f $SOCKET ]; then
     still not available ...
 else
     echo "Done!"
 fi
 }}}

 5 Seconds should be fine. Even 10 might work but nothing higher should be
 used.
