Saving KDOPT setting from /etc/init.d/kerneld ..
Removing obsoleted files:
Dpkg might ask you if you want the new configuration files in /etc/init.d.
This is generally a good idea, unless you have really changed any of these
files. The KDOPT setting in /etc/init.d/kerneld will be saved even if you
install a new version of this file.
