edited description to fix the "oops."

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
  
  
  This is still a problem up through Ubuntu 8.04 HardyAlpha6.
  
  `services-admin` improperly deletes soft links to startup scripts as
  opposed to changing them to "kill scripts" ...
  
  quoted from the `update-rc.d` manpage:
  > A common system administration error is to delete the  links  with  the 
thought that this will "disable" the service
  > ...
  > The correct way to disable services is to configure the service as stopped  
in  all  runlevels
  > in which it is started by default.  In the System V init system this means 
renaming
  > the service’s symbolic links from S to K.

  Maybe there should be something in the Hardy Release Notes about `bum`
  being a much more suitable services config tool.
