I did already:

Description: Alternative boot mechanism using a single configuration file
 This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to
 shut it down and to change runlevels.  The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be
 converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf
 instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also
 more flexible.
 .
 The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into
 the file method on installation, and convert the file back into
 symlinks on removal. Both mechanisms are compatible through
 /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS, /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, and
 /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d scripts.

Furthermore, copyright says:

This package was originally put together by Tom Lees
<tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk>, than taken over by Martin Schulze
<joey@debian.org> and now by Roland Rosenfeld <roland@debian.org>,
from sources obtained from a posting to debian-devel.

In the future this package will be superceeded by r2d2 that can be
found on ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/members/truemper/r2d2/

The original package was written by Winfried Truemper
<winni@xpilot.org>.

Bye, Frank
