I confess that I like "update-init" better myself, but I have to ask:
is the transition worth it? I have a fairly modest installation here
(recently rebuilt after a HD crash), and I see this:
~ $ grep update-rc.d /var/lib/dpkg/info/*{pre,post}{inst,rm}|wc -l
88
Which suggests that there's somewhere between 20 and 44 packages using
update-rc.d right now. Enough to justify a transition plan at the
very least. Enough that I'm questioning (though not formally
objecting to) this change.
