There is a problem here. When I install just nginx-common from noble-
proposed, it won't pull in nginx as before, which is what this change
intended. But nginx-common ships a service, and that service fails:
$ sudo systemctl status nginx
× nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; preset:

There is no error in the logs:
$ l /var/log/nginx/

The nginx.service file tries to run /usr/sbin/nginx, but that binary does not
exist in nginx-common:
$ dpkg -L nginx-common|grep bin
$
It is shipped by bin:nginx, as expected:
$ sudo apt install nginx -y
(...)
$ dpkg -L nginx|grep bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/sbin/nginx
I didn't see this discussed in the SRU template, so I'm raising it now.
Was this considered? Thought of? Is it a surprise?
While we are getting the policy-rc.d usage fixed I suppose, we are
breaking the simple case of installing a single package. I understand
this might require deeper package surgery, and would perhaps not be a
good choice for an SRU.
