Where is that documented? It is badly documented.

Does update-rc.d store a state update-rc.d will not remove the symlinks partially. And anything it does is supposed to be easily modified by the package later (as opposed to something done without update-rc.d). > somewhere besides /etc/rc*.d? That would be news to me. Unfortunately, it doesn't (and that is a major bug). It should work just like dpkg-divert, but it doesn't. > K link is still there.

I did say remove links BUT in runlevel 0 and 6, didn't I? Leave those K links alone (after all you DO want to stop the service before a reboot or shutdown), and the package will not reinstall links. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
