Please remove rcconf
Please remove the rcconf package from Sarge. In my opinion it
is not adequate as a runlevel editor and is not release quality.
It is buggy. The maintainer isn't particularly active. A far
superior alternative has been written by Joe Oppegaard
<joe@pidone.org>. He is currently tuning the program and plans
to upload it very soon under sponsorship. But even if this new
program doesn't make it into Sarge, I think it is better to ship
nothing than to ship rcconf in its present state.
>From rcconf(8):
Rcconf checks 'defaults' links in /etc/rc?.d/ directories
for choice as unset, whether the package has the start
file with the same number in /etc/rc?.d/(?:=2345)
directories (rc?.d/S??name), and stop file with the same
number in /etc/rc?.d/(?:=2345) directories(rc?.d/K??name).
And Rcconf also checks in /etc/init.d/ directory for
choice as set.
