Wow, really great! This is exactly what was missing. Reading the
source only explained _how_ it works but this explains _why_ it works
this way. With this mail as /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.debian I can
accept that rc implements the policy :-)
Another question about runlevels: Is there any chance to preserve
locally preserved changes? For example I changed the links (in
reality I use runlevel.conf instead but this doesn't matter) to
isdnutils, to start this only in runlevel 3 and 4 and stop it in 2 and
5. Every upgrade of the isdnutils package runs
"update-rc.d isdnutils defaults" again and undoes my changes.
In the policy I don't found anything about preserving runlevel
settings, but shouldn't we add some kind of concept like the one for
config files here, to preserve changing in upgrades?
Tschoeeee
