Is there a good reason why packages that include rc scripts in /etc/init.d don't have a means of specifying what the default sequence it will be start / stopped? Redhat does this with a chkconfig: field in each init script. Now, I don't suggest that we need to do this simply because Redhat does, but I recently ran into a problem with some locally-reordered rc scripts that I wanted to set to "package default", i.e., how it was set in the postinst. The only way I could figure out how to do this is to reinstall the package. That isn't so bad, but if we're going to have an update-rc.d defaults option, shouldn't that set the default as determined by the package maintainer, instead of a predetermined default for all scripts when using update-rc.d? -- Chris Ruffin <cmruffin@debian.org>
