[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#676463: #676463 sysv-rc: complains incorrectly(?) about obsolete init.d scripts for fuse and others

As previously posted:

I purged all the fuse and fuse-dependent packages for the time being (since I 
was not using them). This purge REMOVED packages, not just obsolete 
configuration files. Se la vie.

I am obviously not going to purge the initscripts and its zillion dependents! 
I have downgraded to testing to enable normal upgrades of other packages to 
proceed.

>Please take a look at #653050 [1].

Everything suggested here is long obsolete or unavailable.
