Nobody has called the Apache2 maintainers "script kiddies".
Most Debian Developers are excellent and dedicated to Debian
rather than their own egos. It is the DD's work in developing
the Snn/Knn values over many years that needs to be protected
from randomization by the script kiddies.
The script kiddies are those who abused the Debian packaging
system to make sysv-rc REQUIRE the harmful and unnecessary
insserv.
