| As long as that file isn't marked as conffile, that is correct.
Given we're talking about file-rc's /etc/rcN.d/* equivalent (which is a
single file), can not be conffile.

Sure.
(I think I'm missing your point here, since you started quoting the RC
policy at me essentially retelling me the same thing I said in my first
message, and now you're doing it again.)
