Bug#606588: unscd: Uninstallable if NSCD already installed and using dependency based boot
So is this a grave bug in unscd (per policy as it's uninstallable in this case), or release critical in insserv? It has to be (at least) one of the two.

It's only uninstallable if you're using insserv's dependency based booting and haven't purged nscd. I don't believe it's an RC bug in insserv either, but it certainly is a bug. The fix for unscd would be easy (remove Provides: nscd in the init script), but it would stop being a drop-in replacement for nscd at that point in time if you had anything which depended on nscd.
