Package: autofs5
Version: 5.0.4-2
Severity: important

Now that insserv is a required component, all packages must
provide correct init script dependency metadata.  When
setting up insserv, it indicates that autofs is broken:

% sudo dpkg-reconfigure insserv
info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.
error: Problems running insserv:
  insserv: script K19autofs provides system facility $autofs, skipped!
  insserv: script K19autofs provides system facility $autofs, skipped!
  insserv: script S19autofs provides system facility $autofs, skipped!

  insserv: script K19autofs provides system facility $autofs, skipped!
  insserv: script autofs provides system facility $autofs, skipped!
warning: It is not safe to convert to dependency based boot.

I had a quick look at the init script, but I'm not sure what's at
fault here.


BTW, when testing this, I did a "dpkg-configure autofs5", and it blew
away all my changes to /etc/auto.net with the UCF defaults.  I was
not too happy about that; it should not be unilaterally destroying
site-specific changes made by the system administrator.  Is UCF
really necessary here?  Are dpkg conffiles not sufficient?
