Perhaps it would be better, as you suggest, if we saw this in the
absence of S and K symlinks:
invoke-rc.d stop -> stop
invoke-rc.d start -> (nothing)
than this:
invoke-rc.d stop -> stop
invoke-rc.d start -> start
I don't think it's worth taking the trouble to change invoke-rc.d's
behavior, however. We are talking here, after all, about how
invoke-rc.d handles an invalid setup. For packages with maintainer
scripts that do "invoke-rc.d restart" or equivalent, the multiuser
runlevel directories must contain either an S or a K symlink. This
will remain true even when #243159 is implemented.
(Once #243159 is implemented and a package has been changed to do
"invoke-rc.d try-restart" in its postinst instead of "restart",
_then_ the floating state becomes permissible for that package.)
