Basically.

After giving a warning, yes.

Of course.

Yes. That can only change if sysvinit changes, since sysvinit depends on sysv-rc | file-rc. > However, this bug will probably be "fixed" by the removal of the > function in question after Sarge has been released - it won't serve any > purpose then anyway.

Even better, something like > "update-rc.d --update blah blah" which would only update the order if > it wasn't changed by the user, or it could even pop up a dpkg-style > conffile dialog asking the user if he'd want the new config as shipped > in the package. Possibly. That is too much, since there needs to be storage for the original value to determine a user change or not.
