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. > 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.

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?
