Well sure, but that's just something that some services offer, and it
kinda conntradicts the idea of rc*.d, which already *is* the
configuration in sysvinit, whether to start or not - now all these
services which control it additionally via /etc/default/foo, have
basically two switches for the same thing.

Sure I didn't disagree with that part =)
The bug was mainly about the dependency model of the two services, as
described before.
