[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#416086: symlinks are not removed on uninstall/purge

[Michael Biebl]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Severity: important

When deinstalling/purging initscripts, the symlinks in /etc/rcS.d,rc0.d
and rc6.d are not removed.
Imo these symlinks should not only be removed on purge but also on
uninstall. As all files in /etc/ are treated as conffiles, uninstalling
initscripts would otherwise have no effect.
I expect though, when uninstalling the initscript package, that it is
not active anymore.

Cheers,
Michael
