Package: isdnutils-base
Version: 1:3.8.2005-12-06-4
Severity: important

>From the policy manual:

    Maintainers should use the abstraction layer provided by the
    update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d programs to deal with initscripts in
    their packages' scripts such as postinst, prerm and postrm.

    http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.3.3

The script /var/lib/dpkg/info/isdnutils-base.prerm contains

    if [ -x /etc/init.d/isdnutils -a "$1" = remove ]; then
            /etc/init.d/isdnutils stop
    fi

It should instead read 

    if [ -x /etc/init.d/isdnutils -a "$1" = remove ]; then
            invoke-rc.d isdnutils stop
    fi

This change allows sysadmins to use the policy-rc.d mechanism to
change postrm behaviour.  (Without this change, removing
isdnutils-base from a chroot environment removes the default route
from my host OS's routing table!)

A quick look at the 3.9.20060704-2.1 diff.gz indicates this bug still
exists in the version currently in Sid.
