(Adding mantainers of all ups-monitor related packages to CC. Note,
that upsd is orphaned, but it does not provide this link anyway).
Can we work out a common solution for the problem? Now apcupsd,
genpower, nut (in testing), powstatd create ups-monitor symlink in
init.d since they provide ups-monitor virtual package. However,
insserv cannot solve dependencies since it discovers several init
scripts providing ups-monitor.
The solution for this might be to replace symlink with separte script
(it can source original one) that have different lsb headers not to
confuse insserv. Obviously at least the listed packages behavior
should be changed to support this.
Any objections?
