Bug#488796: system-tools-backends: No need to stop in runlevels 0 and 6

Package: system-tools-backends
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Given that in runlevels 0 and 6 there is an init script that terminates
all running processes it is a waste to run an init script for each
process before that. In Ubuntu we remove the scripts that do nothing
more than terminate a process, and rely on the final script to clean up
the running processes. Please see

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown

for more information.

Attached is a patch to do this for Debian. Please consider applying it.

Note that the version number in the system-tools-backends should be
adjusted to be the version number of whatever version this patch
is applied. Please also double check the names of the symlinks that
are being removed.

Thanks,

James
