The problem with this is, that there is a re-implementation of
update-rc.d in postint, which first searches for /usr/lib/file-rc and
if it finds this directory, it uses real update-rc.d otherwise it's
own implementation.

In file-rc 0.7 I moved the files from /usr/lib/file-rc to
/usr/share/file-rc, which results in postinst failing, because it now
believes that file-rc is not installed.

The only solution to this problem and all future problems with file-rc
and maybe other boot mechanisms is to remove this crap implementation
of update-rc.d from postinst and call the regular update-rc.d as
policy recommends.

Tschoeeee
