[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#610185: sysv-rc.postinst needs to provide more balanced description of insserv pros and cons

[Mike Bird]

You need to document how to recover the Snn/Knn values in all
cases (including package changes after enabling insserv) and
WITHOUT resorting to backup.  When that is done the bug can be
down-graded from critical to grave.  When you can recover
automatically then you can further down-grade it to wish list.

The present template is extremely misleading.  If you prefer
you can both reduce the size and the damage by providing a more
balanced README.Debian and directing sysadmins to study it
carefully before answering the question.

As long as the question states that this dangerous process is
recommended the critical bug remains.

Hiding this bug by closing or pretending it is not critical by
Debian's own definitions is a disservice to Debian's users.
