Subject: sysv-rc-conf too greedy when unlinking files

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: sysv-rc-conf
Version: 0.99-5
Severity: normal

Hi!

When sysv-rc-conf removes symlinks, it doesn't respect string boundaries. 
For example, when trying to remove "ifupdown" from runlevel S, sysv-rc-conf
also removes "ifupdown-clean" from that runlevel.

The following patch might solve the problem:
