Package: insserv
Version: 1.11.0-9
Severity: important

The standard (well, regarding a Debian etch/lenny installation) init
system has a feature (or well documented behaviour) that update-rc.d 
does not recreate links in /etc/rc?.d directories that were removed
by the user (or local sysadmin) if at least one such link still exists.
Unfortunately, the update-rc.d version installed by insserv does just
that: It re-installs (for example) /etc/rc2.d/bacula-director on package
upgrades, re-enabling a service that is (in this case locally) intended
to be started on demand, but shut down in any case (all 
rc[016].d/K??bac*di* links still exist, just rc[2-5].d/S??bacul*di* were
removed).

This is both unexpected and inconsistent with other update-rc.d 
implementations as far as I can tell.

Kind regards,
Sven
