It worked by mandating that maintainer scripts must start and stop daemons only by using invoke-rc.d. The modern and simple solution is "systemctl mask", as long as you do not need to care about the 0.6% of systems which do not use systemd. If you are doing this for your own systems then you obviously know if you can rely on systemd or not. > fact that live-build/debootstrap also includes the 'moving start-stop- > daemon' trick is either indeed a left over from before systemd (I do > not know the history of it), or is left to ensure compatibility without > systemd? It is needed because some buggy maintainer scripts do/did not use invoke-rc.d, so better be safe than sorry. -- ciao, Marco
