IMHO insserv should have a hints file, so one can indicate which *dm should be preferred. In that case insserv could ask the user which one should be picked via a debconf (or similar) prompt when it finds such a conflict. And in case it can't ask the user (e.g. non interactive installation) it could simply not alter the current init scripts order instead of aborting the installation. > >> When no other packages or init-scripts need a running display-manager >> this could also be a workaround. > > I don't know how insserv works, but what ensures that all installed > display manager initscripts are run ? > (all display managers tests wether they are the default according to the > debconf conifguration - and if not, the initscripts does nothing) I believe there's no feasible way to make insserv aware of that (IANAinsservD/M).
