There is no need to make sysv-rc depend on insserv if the goal is to make it be the default. I have nothing against making insserv be the default for current or future Debian installations, and in fact support that goal. However, I *do* have qualms with insserv being the *only* option (if you want to use sysv-rc), which is currently the case. That is not the same thing as it being 'the default', and that is what I have a problem with (and, I believe, most people in this thread who oppose the change, though I'll readily accept that I might be wrong there). -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
