Except that insserv overrides are also usefull for a local admin.

At my work, we use them for two specific purposes:
- for vendor-provided scripts without LSB headers, or with wrong LSB
headers (this way we don't touch their garbage)
- for clustering. When a service is started by ctdb or
corosync/pacemaker. This is needed because "invoke-rc.d disable *"
don't edit the headers, and then insserv complain.

Point 2 is probably gone with systemd, but I don't know how to fix #1
in a systemd way.

Thanks for your hard work

Mathieu
