Please request that we enhance invoke-rc.d to look on /usr/local first,
then (through a wishlist bug). Looks like a good idea at first glance.

It is. As Debian infrastructure, it has to be very packaging-friendly.

Yes. Nobody wrote-AND-packaged a general use policy-rc.d yet, but work is
being done in that area. Stuff like pbuilder already uses it inside the

might be quite the wortwhile addition to invoke-rc.d
