I made some first tests and they confirmed my fears. :(

The recipes look like this:

-------------------->snip<---------------------------
inherit autotools update-rc.d

do_install_append() {
        ...
        install -m 755 ${WORKDIR}/initscript ${D}/${sysconfdir}/init.d/syslog.${PN}
}

pkg_postinst_${PN} () {
    update-alternatives --install ${sysconfdir}/init.d/syslog syslog-init syslog.${PN} 300
}

pkg_prerm_${PN} () {
    update-alternatives --remove syslog-init syslog.${PN}
}

INITSCRIPT_NAME = "syslog"
-------------------->snip<---------------------------

When opkg installs the packages it wants to run update-rc.d *before*
update-alternatives. This results in an "file does not exist" error. :(

  Installing rsyslog (5.5.4-r1.0.5) to root...
  Installing busybox-syslog (1.13.2-r24.1.5) to root...
  Configuring rsyslog
  update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/syslog: file does not exist
  update-alternatives: Linking //etc/init.d/syslog to syslog.rsyslog

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Steffen
