It's a screenful of almost the same sentences, instead of something
like:

>   The following init scripts belong to packages removed but not purged:
>
>   * Script1
>   * Script2
>   * Script3
>
>   Please purge those packages if you want to convert to a

| Your machine had a lot of issues with the init.d scripts.

Hasn't been a problem until sysv-rc whined at me today.

| I would be interested in knowing which script were the cause of the
| obsolete init.d script issues.  Can you provide the output from

|   dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete | grep /etc/init.d

> dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete | grep /etc/init.d
 /etc/init.d/ondemand cc2a79a545967eec1170dc2bb44468e0 obsolete
 /etc/init.d/bootlogs.sh ed244b16e30bcf5035ba9477da9e6d95 obsolete
 /etc/init.d/NetworkManager 61285233aa179086aabe30308c7e1bde obsolete
 /etc/init.d/powernowd.early 872c7affb23be782e698560b18b1c6b0 obsolete
 /etc/init.d/udev-finish 512731186090f33a08b1d8dea4e89206 obsolete

This machine used to run Ubuntu, so it's probably from back when it did
so.
