Which is the reason why I filed the bug as "normal". > Also, if that weren't enough, the function in question is only run if > the package is upgraded from version 1.2.0-1 or earlier.

In the time of the freeze, a release critical bug is actually good since it might allow a new version into sarge ;) > I cannot see how I can accomplish 1) with the update-rc.d abstraction > layer.

My suggestion would be: (1) detect whether sysv-rc or file-rc being used (s2) read the symlinks and change them if necessary (f2) emit a warning, update-rc.d remove, update-rc.d insert (s2) is the same as we have today, (f2) is better than failing. I have written e-mail to the maintainers of sysv-rc and file-rc whether they would be willing to provide read-rc.d > Regarding the Subject field, you mention invoke-rc.d. Ignore that. I was just trying to give an appropriate description of the abstraction layer. Of course. invoke-rc.d is of no use here.
