Hi,

I've been testing file-rc/sysv-rc over the last few days while adding
insserv support to file-rc.

sysv-rc and file-rc are not completely interchangeable.  sysv-rc
tries to restore the old sequence numbers in /etc/rc*.d on removal,
which is fine.  But if I reinstall sysv-rc and then try to install
file-rc again, it fails on purge because it can't restore the links
the second time around.

Since file-rc just deletes the links (and when file-rc is using
insserv, it won't need any information from them), is there any
need to retain this behaviour?  Especially since it's partially
broken; not sure what's at fault there.  Does anything else make
use of the status information in /var/lib/update-rc.d?


Regards,
Roger
