That's the same issue with people who disable services using update-rc.d remove <basename> - they are using the wrong tool for the job. > I did try to raise the issue at: > > http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/12/msg00197.html > > but unfortunately, I only got one response that agrees the solution I > implemented.

I felt very, very strong about the issue and contemplated going to the tech ctte over your "fix".
