sysv-rc-conf in Debian
----------------------

sysv-rc-conf directly manipulates the system's runlevel symlinks. The preferred
Debian mechanism for doing this is through update-rc.d(8), which in turn invokes
insserv(8) where available.

The default configuration on Debian is to invoke insserv(8) on exit after
symlinks have been changed. This causes dependency-based boot sequences (which
sysv-rc-conf does not directly understand) to be recomputed. This behaviour
can be changed by editing /etc/sysv-rc-conf.conf

This tool does not control services when systemd is init: systemctl should be
used on systemd systems.
