I got a clue. I had forgotten the SUSE setup, where every script have
both stop and start symlinks. The real problem I had was that the
code to insert default settings in the non-SUSE case was broken. This
patch solved the issue.
Hi.
I just tried to update the Debian package of insserver from 1.14.0 to
1.16.0, and discovered that the script ordering produced is completely
bogus. The bug is in the unpatch package too, but not detected by the
test suite. Here is the last output from 'make check':
