OK, you're right. But that would be too complicated to include it
in every postinst skript.
I have created two scripts named start-rc.d. One for runlevel links and
one for file-rc. I think, they should be included in the corresponding
packages which contain the update-rc.d skript (dpkg and file-rc).
I have attached these two files to this email. Please have a look if you
like them and feel free to include them.
I think that every package that would start a daemon in its postinst
should use these files to start it.

Cold coffe doesn't taste good even if it would still be hot.
