Ah, the script in startup has been rewritten and moved to src/tools
anyway, see
https://code.launchpad.net/~epics-contrib/epics-base/+git/contrib/+merge/352919
for details (you should probably be aware of that change anyway as it
may affect the Debian packaging). I will be merging that into 3.14 and
upwards as soon as I can find the time to do it.

Thanks,
