[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#585415: sysv-rc: 'unable to use insserv' shown at every upgrade

[Julien Cristau]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-7
Severity: serious

Every time sysv-rc gets upgraded it annoys me with a debconf screen
about how it couldn't use insserv.  This message should only be showed
once, I don't need it in my face at each upgrade.

The reason it can't use insserv is it can't seem to deal with
removed-but-not-purged packages.  I'm not going to purge them just to
make it happy.

So please make this debconf screen a one-time thing.

Cheers,
Julien
