Well, but making this invalid setup a "locally valid" one by defining
the most useful invoke-rc.d behavior for it is one of two ways to solve
the (otherwise still unsolvable, right?) administrative problem of
making a service manually controlled.  I guess implementing the other
potential solution (making the K->K transition do nothing) probably has
as many or even more side effects.

Must this be so? As long as the no-S-and-K-links situation is officially
undefined, it wouldn't do any harm to let invoke-rc.d actually do a
"try-restart" when called with "restart" and no links exists, would it?
