I just solved this differently by using the creates argument to the shell
module. In my opinion you should *know* the name of the S and K symlinks so
a wildcard shouldn't be necessary. Here's my approach:
- shell: update-rc.d myinitscript defaults
args:
creates: /etc/rc2.d/S20myinitscript
This will skip the update-rc.d if the symlink already exists. It will
actually be skipped if its' a regular file or a directory too, but I'm not
that paranoid. (Or you'd have to check each symlink that you expect to be
created.) Test what's reasonably going to break, that's my philosophy here.
