Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal

[this is probably serious, a policy violation]

Hi,

citing from policy 9.3.3: "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. Directly managing the /etc/rc?.d links and directly
invoking the /etc/init.d/ initscripts should be done only by packages
providing the initscript subsystem (such as sysv-rc and file-rc)."

Munin-node's postinst's function move_startup_links fiddles around
with symlinks in /etc/rcx.d. This should be changed to use the
abstraction layer to allow interoperation with file-rc and other
runlevel control mechanisms.

Greetings
Marc
