Hence me saying it'd be harder. I'm much less concerned about fixing that than I am about fixing dependencies on initscripts. Although, it'd be nice to *only* have invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d, and not /etc/rc*.d/README and /etc/init.d/{README,rc,rcS} . - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
