Hello ladies and gentlemen ;)
I've been asking a question on irc, that I'd like to 
put on the list: why doesn't lrm remove init'd scripts.
I don't know if to call it a bug or not, but with the
naming convention of calling the script by it use and
not by the module's name it all mucks up. For example: I 
prepare a DNS server module, that has an init.d script
called named. Say the user lrm's the module and installs
bind. It would b0rk the whole thing up, wouldn't it?
So policy could be: remove init.d scripts in POST_REMOVE,
or just leave it there. What do you think? I've choosed 
the first option for now. Mmmmm, maybe in CONFIGURE a:

if [ -e /etc/init.d/$MySript]; then
	query "Do you want to update $MyScript" y

and so on... ????
Thanks for listening,
C U,
nestu ;))))
