Yes, I think it's fairly obvious we need to keep the set of services enabled/disabled regardless of init system. I think it's the responsibility of the init system to make sure that is actually true, through a policy-defined mechanism which packages are required to use. This does raise the interesting problem of how and where to do that synchronisation. I wonder if something like the emacsen-hooks mechanism would make sense or if we should consider the rcN.d links to be authoritative and it being up to the init system to make sure it respects the state set by the symlinks. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
