Package: file-rc
Version: 0.8.11
Severity: minor
The man page for update-rc.d should have a paragraph similar to the
third paragraph under DESCRIPTION for the same command from the sysv-rc
package. The text for sysv-rc is as follows:
Please note that this program was designed for use in package
maintainer scripts and, accordingly, has only the very limited
functionality required by such scripts. System administrators are
not encouraged to use update-rc.d to manage runlevels. They
should edit the links directly or use runlevel editors such as
sysv-rc-conf and bum instead.
The paragraph definitely has some sysv-rc specific verbage, but this
should convey the basic idea. Without a paragraph similar to this, the
man page does not make clear to sysadmins that they should find a
different way to make local edits to runlevel.conf.
