Its had its day and at last we can all be safe in the knowledge that the biggest thieves are not the pirates but those who wanted to enforce DRM over and above the wishes and rights of the artists and their fans.

System administrators are not encouraged to use update-rc.d to manage runlevels. They should edit the links directly or use runlevel editors such as sysv-rc-conf and bum instead. From me: This is why you've had to pass -f when running remove. It's a reminder that update-rc.d is not for system administration. From the update-rc.d manpage:
