Package: sysv-rc
Version: Version: 2.86.ds1-1
Severity: minor
The README file in /etc/rcS.d slightly misdescribes the behavior of
/etc/init.d/rcS. Whereas rcS loops over the scripts using
for i in /etc/rcS.d/S??*
the README file simply says that "The scripts in this directory are
executed...".
This is not an entirely trivial issue. It is important that we specify
the current behavior of rcS so that it will be clear that K symlinks in
/etc/rcS.d/ are NOT executed. The ability to put K symlinks in rcS.d/
that are NOT executed is needed; only in this way can startup scripts
be disabled in such a way that the update-rc.d in the script's package
postinst will be prevented from re-installing S symlinks.
