[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#581766: update-rc.d: seems to give incorrect warnings

No.  But it always report a warning if the arguments used when calling
update-rc.d do not match the LSB header.

When dependency based boot sequencing is used, the runlevels specified
as arguments to update-rc.d are ignored, and the values in the LSB
header are used instead.

Already working as it should. :)

We are discussing a warning printed by update-rc.d when there is
inconsistency between the update-rc.d command line arguments and the
LSB header of a given script.  We are not discussing the _behaviour_
of update-rc.d, which uses the LSB header when dependency based boot
sequencing is enabled and the command line arguments when the legacy
boot ordering is used.  The warning is printed to increase the chance
of keeping these two settings in sync. :)

Dependenby based boot sequencing is the future for the init.d scripts
in Debian, and currently this is done using insserv, yes. :)

Not that I remember.  But the complete list of packages with such
problem during installation is detected by piuparts,

Happy hacking,
