No objections. I am fine with the idea that we define, within Debian,
that for sysv-rc no S or K symlink means "leave it alone", which in
turn means "deny all requests" for invoke-rc.d.
It is up to the administrator to understand that this will break upgrades
in weird ways if a service absolutely HAS to be restarted, since that
restart will simply not happen. There is no clean fix until we get all
initcripts to properly support the new LSB-introduced (and many times
requested within Debian) equivalent to "restart only if it is already
running". At that time, it is very simple to fix invoke-rc.d to be
a bit more intelligent.
