-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This came from bug #16058.
Policy Manual 3.4.5 says: Do not include the /etc/rcn.d/* symbolic links in dpkg's conffiles list! This will cause problems! Do, however, include the /etc/init.d scripts in conffiles. However, it does not say why /etc/init.d/* scripts have to be conffiles. They are usually programs, not configuration files. Could somebody please explain the rationale for having *all* /etc/init.d/* scripts as conffiles? Please, don't say "you can deactivate the service by modifying the scripts", since we already can deactivate the service by uninstalling the package, and the *real* configuration files will remember how exactly do we want the services to be activated again when we install the package again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNJpU2SqK7IlOjMLFAQFtRAP8Dm6mmqjduEMm8CLiFSkzp8INCX6Adq+2 TTUJLJMsupwe68E4kQvPtQd0FMC7CUgcQ+i8ZLZlxpsSjjLsH//KV70AZT5JpSaP 4qPosJgJ8r0irJcCVQqRSOa2HeT9/Ubzkv/gOwuS5z9tM5QoCxFf204TcsREMv1f igD8pIgXGG8= =DCqr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
