Public bug reported:
The apache2 package fails to check whether rc scripts have been modified
when performing an upgrade. As a result admins who have disabled boot-
time invokation (update-rc.d -f apache2 remove) will be surprised to
find that system, package, and other upgrades not only override their
configuration, they also start the apache2 daemon. This is not the
expected behavior nor is it good security policy (violating the
principle of least surprise never is).
Apache2 and other packages should not automatically create links to
rc.#d directories when upgrading nor should these packages automatically
start processes when doing upgrades.
Please re-file this as an aptitude / synaptic / apt-get / dpkg bug if
that is the more appropriate place for requiring postinst, preinst, ...
to respect existing system configurations or at least require user-
interaction before changing them.
