No objections. I am fine with the idea that we define, within Debian, that for sysv-rc no S or K symlink means "leave it alone", which in turn means "deny all requests" for invoke-rc.d. It is up to the administrator to understand that this will break upgrades in weird ways if a service absolutely HAS to be restarted, since that restart will simply not happen. There is no clean fix until we get all initcripts to properly support the new LSB-introduced (and many times requested within Debian) equivalent to "restart only if it is already running". At that time, it is very simple to fix invoke-rc.d to be a bit more intelligent. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
