Bug#483607: wrong fix?

[Michael Biebl]

Hi

 kbd (1.14.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Change the LSB header of /etc/init.d/console-screen.kbd.sh to provide the
     unique name console-screen.kbd, closes: #483607.  This avoids collisions
     when replacing console-tools with kbd (and vice versa).

Is that really the correct fix?

E.g. /etc/init.c/console-setup has:

# Should-Start:      console-screen





CCed Peter for his opininon.

Cheers,
Michael

Now other services, like e.g. console-setup are broken, because they expect the facility to be named console-screen. There are a couple of other packages, which share the same problem, e.g. all the syslog daemons provide the "syslog" facility. Wouldn't it be better, if update-rc.d.insserv allowed to insert two services with the same Provides? IIRC insserv actually allows that and does it correctly.
