I would like to second Simon McVittie. I propose closing this bug as wontfix. Alternatively, I'd suggest turning this bug around completely and discuss policy discuraging (or even forbidding) reinventing the update-rc.d policy layer via /etc/default. (TTBOMK this anti-pattern surfaced because of noone volunteering to fix dh_installinit to avoid starting/enabling on install, but that has since long been fixed now.) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
