Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysv-rc

ii  sysv-rc                   2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu16
(Ubuntu 6.10)

The man page for invoke-rc.d says:

       invoke-rc.d itself only pays attention to the current runlevel; it will
       block any attempts to start a service in a runlevel in which  the  ser‐
       vice  is  disabled. 
and
FILES
       /etc/rc?.d/*
              System V runlevel configuration (if the sysv-rc package  is  not
              being used).

When my laptop wakes up from hibernation and tries to start mysql if
possible (see /etc/default/acpi-support and look for STOP_SERVICES),
invoke-rc.d starts mysql.

I don't have any /etc/rc?.d/S*mysql* files (I removed them because I
don't ever want mysqld to be automatically started), but the man page
says that these are only used if the sysv-rc package is not being used.
The man page does not say how to disable a service in a runlevel if you
*are* using sysv-rc.

Please update the invoke-rc.d manpage in the sysv-rc package to tell
people how to disable packages in a runlevel since "update-rc.d -f
$package remove" doesn't do it.

Thanks
