And completely incompatible with file-rc, which doesn't have
/etc/rc?.d directories but only one file named /etc/runlevel.conf.
Please note, that accessing these "links" should only be done via
wrapper scripts (currently only /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS and
/usr/sbin/update-rc.d, we haven't a script to find out whether a
daemon is running yet, but we should introduce one and fixate this in
the policy).

IMHO libc should handle its various incompatibilies itself, because
its a problem in libc, not in the daemon packages.
Tschoeeee
