I updated your patch to remove /etc/init.d/mtab.sh from disk and clean up<br />a couple of things (no whitspace change in postrm, unrelated update-rc.d purge<br />of hostname.sh in postinst). Please take a look, I'd like to apply it to<br />the package vcs.<br /><br>

I think it only cares about the orignial file or locally modified backups<br />created by the eliminate_conffile() function in initscripts.preinst.<br /><br>
