Bug#230857: Careful with that shell scripting...

Good so far....

These four lines will spew errors if the scripts have already been deleted
by the local admin.  So, the following is better:

# Move obsolete init scripts out of the way if they're present
if [ -f /etc/init.d/devpts.sh ]
  chmod ugo-x /etc/init.d/devpts.sh
  mv /etc/init.d/devpts.sh /etc/init.d/devpts.sh.dpkg-old
fi
if [ -f /etc/init.d/mountkernfs ]
  chmod ugo-x /etc/init.d/mountkernfs
  mv /etc/init.d/mountkernfs /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.dpkg-old
fi
rm -f /etc/rcS.d/S35devpts.sh /etc/rcS.d/S35mountkernfs
rm -f /etc/rcS.d/K35devpts.sh /etc/rcS.d/K35mountkernfs
