Note that it would be easy for rcctl to save the flags (basically only remove
minidlna from the pkg_scripts variable). But that would make the behavior
inconsistent with how base rc.d scripts behave. When you disable a base script,
you must remove the foo_flags from rc.conf.local (and can't retain the flags).
I prefer to have a consistent behavior, this is why rcctl works this way.
