This is what I meant about renaming the links from S to K: update-rc.d
won't remove the K variants upon upgrade/uninstallation unless you use
'purge' on removal. Better, upgrade-rc.d won't add an S link if a K link
exists. The downside is that you might not really want to run the script
as a 'stop' script when entering runlevels, but this is probably not an
issue for most people in practice. Sounds like Debian could do with a
proper way of achieving what you guys want.
