Hi,
To disable a service I can "insserv -r service", but the postinst of a service
may just enable it again on update.
How do tell the system that although I have the package X installed I do not,
ever, want to have it started?
* /etc/default/service is not always available
* modifiying any script causes annoying warnings (ucf --three-way is still not
being widely used and also is not without user interaction)
I used to just rm /etc/rc2.d/*service, but I understand that's not how insserv
works... The man page does not list a way to remove service from only one
runlevel.
Why I use this:
* KDE forces me to install mysql-server which will by default start the
system wide db (but uses a per user instance.)
* I want to have postgres installed for my toy projects, but not started when
I'm not hacking on it (to save boot time and memory.)
cheers

Hello.
There seems to have been consensus on the requested feature / bug report
that insserv was not the right tool for the job and what was attempted
is something that should be done using update-rc.d.
I'm thus closing this bug report now once and for all.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
