Perhaps.  I believe that it should only use the default-* values when
the script is inserted for the first time, and after that allow the
sysadmin to control if a service is enabled or disabled in a runlevel
by changing or removing the symlinks.  See bug #464017 for a test case
to demonstrate what I mean.  This is how it work today for start
symlinks, but it does not work like that for stop symlinks.  See the
bug for details.

I'm not convinced that is how it should work.  I guess it all boil
down to a question on where to update the configuration.  In the
header, or by modifying the symlinks.

Please add your view to bug #464017, to have a different view on how
it should work.

Happy hacking,
