Package: sysv-rc-conf
Version: 0.99-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

sysv-rc-conf is my preferred tool for manipulating symlinks under rcN.d
but when I tried to use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade sysv-rc-conf
from 0.99-7.1 to 0.99-10, it wanted to uninstall my init system, runit,
in favour of sysvinit-core.

I do not want to replace runit-init with sysvinit-core, I just want to
use my preferred tool to manipulate which initscripts will be called by
runit via its fallback mechanism or which would be used by sysvinit if I
were at some future point to switch to it intentionally.

sysv-rc-conf seems to be perfectly capable of doing its job while
runit-init is installed, e.g.:

# insserv -s | grep fetchmail
K:01:0 1 2 3 4 5 6:fetchmail
# sysv-rc-conf
# insserv -s | grep fetchmail
K:01:0 1 6:fetchmail
S:06:2 3 4 5:fetchmail
# sysv-rc-conf
# insserv -s | grep fetchmail
K:01:0 1 2 3 4 5 6:fetchmail

# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
