[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#375183: we forgot one angle: alternatives

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

Reading the docs, I found out why it is hardcoded: we were supposed to
use /etc/alternatives to select which policy-rc.d to use.  But since
nobody ever packaged any policy-rc.d implementation, that angle was
mostly forgotten.

Looking through that angle, and also taking into account the
uncertainity (and silent bugs) that one would get if all PATHs are not
the same when package maintainer scripts are being run (does dpkg force
the path to a known good value, perchance?), well, it might be best to
leave the hardcoded location in place.
