Unfortunately, dpkg does _not_ clean the init-script up itself, I just tested it. If I have radsecproxy installed and then install the version without the init-script in the DEB, it stays in /etc/init.d/ and "dpkg -L radsecproxy" even lists it as belonging to the package. Only new installs don't have the init-script, obviously. So it seems like I _do_ need to clean this up manually. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
