Package: jackd
Version: 0.116.2+svn3592-2
Severity: important
User: initscripts-ng-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertag: 538936

A user reported a problem with enabling dependency based boot
sequencing (now the default in Debian unstable) because of some
obsolete init.d scripts left behind in /etc/init.d/.
/etc/init.d/jackd with MD5 sum 13dc7709bb22d974d4745ffec23f775f was
one of the two files he reported.

This is normally the result of a fault in the package owning the file,
failing to remove the init.d script during package upgrades.  As it is
a conffile, it need to be removed using the procedure documented on
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling>.

I'm setting severity to important as this blocks some people from
converting their system to dependency based boot sequencing, which is
now the default in debian.

Happy hacking,
