Been there, done that. There is no way to satisfy everyone. Question is, if there are more users out there that use file-rc / insserv or have disabled/modified avahi-daemon start symlinks (which usually only knowledgeable users will do). Please keep in mind that insserv was confirmed as a release goal, so what should I do? I'm open to better suggestions.
