Bug#379001: debian-policy: update-rc.d overrides sysadmins wishes

[Adrian Bridgett <adrian@smop.co.uk>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.1
Severity: wishlist

The policy says that postinst should run "update-rc.d ... defaults",
however this means that symlinks are reverted back upon all upgrades.

I have a large number of packages installed for testing, but I do not
want them started by default.  In some cases I could edit
/etc/defaults/package and set them to disabled there.

I think update-rc.d defaults should only be called on a fresh install,
not an upgrade.

Thanks,

Adrian
