I accidently installed this package once...be very carefull. last I
used it (accidently installed it) it wasvery broken. It was not
unmounting filesystems and remounting them read-only before
halt/reboot ing. I tried to figure out what was wrong (not knowing
that file-rc existed, much less as installed).

I agree...I dunno what bugs in it have been fixed and what havn't...
quite frankly I LIKE the sym links method. I supose maybe I am a bit
biased (during my "debugging" of the not unmounting filesystems bug,
it hosed my entire drive -had to reinstall debian) but like I said
I LIKE sym links
