OK. I can tell that this feature is available, though obscured by the
lack of a man page for policy-rc.d or even a reference to a package
that implements it. I *did* find a document through google, however.
Reading it doesn't make it much clearer.
My search through a Contents file doesn't show an implementor for
policy-rc.d. Is there one or is it adhoc?
