Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-26
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

my system has been running debian for about ten years now.  Once in a time,
I try to resolve a few issues preventing my system to be migrated to
dependency based boot.  Today, I looked at the suggestion
  dpkg --purge initscripts initscripts initscripts lm-sensors
which is not something I wanted to do.  Package initscripts has 24
non-obsolete and three obsolete init.d scripts.  Trying to figure out
which script to delete manually,  it would be really helpful if
sysv-rc.postinst reported the exact filename.  I used the attached
patch to get this behaviour.  Please apply if you consider it reasonable.

Regards
Stephan
