I will evaluate the new program, but the rcconf in Sid works quietly,
faithfully, and efficiently for me. It is the only tool I evaluated to
disable services at startup, because it fits my needs perfectly.
Something else may be more perfect, but I would much poorer without it.
(Nah, I'd just write a hack-y one-off script, like I do for everything
else.)
