i'm good with that, and one more (potentially idiotic) question
about run-postinsts. i note in the OE recipe file that it inherits
"update-rc.d", but i'm not sure why.
AIUI (and i could be totally off-base here), i thought systemd
needed update-rc.d only for backward compatibility for sysvinit-style
services, is that right?
so while run-postinsts is free to inherit update-rc.d, does that
have any value if one is not using any sysvinit-driven services? or am
i misunderstanding the fundamental functionality of update-rc.d?
