Because if any package that is NOT a policy-rc.d package is providing a policy-rc.d in /usr/sbin, it has a damn good reason to do so, and it should take precendence. Examples of damn good reasons are alternative initscript managers such as runit. If a package that is a policy-rc.d package is installed, then the local admin is supposed to take care of things (he should uninstall that package, if he wants to use his own policy-rc.d under /usr/local. Or register his policy-rc.d as an alternative and select that one, etc). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
