Of course, this bug was introduced when sysvinit changed /etc/default/rcS from a non-conffile to a conffile. Before this change, /etc/default/rcS was copied into place on first time installation, and never updated using dpkg. This was done like this to avoid any conffile questions during upgrades. At the moment with /etc/default/rcS as a conffile, there is no way for flash-kernel to do what it want in a policy compliant way. :( The only way to make that happen is for sysvinit to provide a mechanism to edit the file, or to convert the file back to being a non-conffile. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
