Not sure what the recommended way is, but the "culprit" is probably
update-rc.d, which is called by installation scripts. So...not sure how
you are supposed to get around it. The only thing that comes to mind is
if you manually rename the /etc/rc.x/S12blah file to /etc/rc.x/K12blah
so that update-rc.d doesn't fiddle with it in future upgrades/
installations. Perhaps try doing a search for a "Debian policy"
document or similar, if a general mailing list search is not helpful.
