I don't see, how debconf can remember what servers are running in the
_actual_ runlevel (which may differ from the default run level and may
change from time to time).
A more generic way is the start-rc.d script written by Ingo Saitz
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and adapted to file-rc by me. This script
should be packaged near update-rc.d in dpkg (diverted by file-rc).
You run this script with the <daemon> from /etc/init.d/<daemon> as a
parameter and it starts this daemon with only if it should be active
in the actual run level.
I'll attach the two scripts to this message.
But I fear, that we have to change the policy before we can use these
scripts...
Ciao
