Err, yes. There were complains about the -rc.d prefix way back in Debconf2, but the truth is the ship had sailed already (due to update-rc.d). Migrating to a new tool with a less obnoxious name isn't a problem, but this needs to be planned carefully as it is going to span at least two stable releases. And invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d compatibility interfaces will have to be kept around for a *long* time, probably for at least two more stable releases, to avoid breaking things for third-party packages that don't use the LSB compatibility layer. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
