That looks okay. One could even go as far as replacing the ?? with the default priority, but I don't think it should be done. > This would work for insserv and sysv-rc, but not file-rc (but I don't > care too much about file-rc, tbh.

Since this is purely an optimization step, not having an effect with file-rc is nothing to be concerned about. > It also doesn't take into account any local modifications to the stop > priorities (when using sysv-rc alone).

But since we don't need stop priorities at all in these cases, removing them is valid on upgrades IMHO. > The major complain I got on debian-release (when we discussed the same > topic for avahi-daemon) was, that the "update-rc.d remove" approach > didn't preserve disabled services, which the above method would do (i.e. > services which were disabled before the upgrade were enabled again > afterwards).
