Bug#698766: live-debconfig: Installing services resets the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d using live-debconfig to create an LXC container (debian template)
Package: live-debconfig
Severity: minor
According to http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2012/08/msg00174.html
"...we can replace the links with links to /bin/true, and update-rc.d will leave them alone on upgrades...".
The second part of the statement is not working.
The problem is: installing a service will reset the symlinks in /etc/rc*.
Test:
After container creation, do the following:

The links pointing to /bin/live-initscripts-empty-stop disappeared.
I'm wondering that why you call this in the changelog of 4.0~a3-1 an
"upgrade safe" way:
"Reworking disabling and removal of sysvinit services in a non hardcoded and upgrade safe way."
