OK, I didn't know that.  If one were interested in not-Debian-compatibility, 
which is my primary motivation here, one could perhaps implement chkconfig as 
a wrapper around sysv-rc-conf, but chkconfig isn't actually that big to make 
this worthwhile.

This refers to the graphical interface.  All the bugs are in the BTS.

For example, when I disable a service, insserv reorders the dependencies to 
make them more optimal.  chkconfig also interacts with the LSB init script 
headers in intelligent ways, which I don't see in sysv-rc-conf.
