[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#570326: sysv-rc: Confusing messages regarding init scripts during package upgrade

[Frans Pop]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.87dsf-8
Severity: minor

During an upgrade of rsync I got the following:
   Setting up rsync (3.0.7-2) ...
   Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/rsync ...
    Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/rsync ...
      /etc/rc1.d/K20rsync
      /etc/rc2.d/S50rsync
      /etc/rc3.d/S50rsync
      /etc/rc4.d/S50rsync
      /etc/rc5.d/S50rsync

This makes it appear as if the links listed below "Removing ..." are
all being removed and no new links are being created. While the
actual situation is that the listed links are the ones that are created.

So it would be better to add a line just before the list of new links.
Maybe:
    Creating new system startup links for <script>:
