Then you can as well remove it. The effect on local changes will be the
same. Somebody might have some code in there that she wants to use
again. 

I didn't look at the bugs; there might be a reason why simply removing
the symlinks is not sufficient. But why not just rename it,
/etc/init.d/rcS will just ignore it.
