[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#336873: /etc/default/rcS is not listed by any package

The file /etc/default/rcS is inserted by the initscrips package when
it is installed for the first time.  As far as I know, there is no way
to report this relationship to dpkg without also getting upgrade
problems when the file is changed by the host administrator and the
package maintainers.  This is a long-standing wishilst bug against
dpkg (#213907 and more).

We could add a comment at the top of the file documenting that it was
generated from the initscripts package.  Would this be enough to make
you happy?
