That way we don't souddenly run short again. The main problem is that you can't do that by a normal upgrade. If you call update-rc.d in the postinst script and there exist runlevels, the configuration is NOT touched. And since we have two different rc/rcS methods (sysvinit+dpkg/file-rc) you even can't rename the link. What you could do in the affected postinst is, ask the user to remove the old setup and install the new one from scratch. > Does Debian need a shut-down scripts order in the polocy document? :)) I won't consider this bad. Please go ahead.
