Hi Manuel,

OK, thanks! That's important. There are packages that start their daemons in the postinst scripts, so not running the init.d scripts for those packages is not enough to prevent the services from running during package installation. That's where my confusion came from. Maybe the docu could be updated to make this point more clear?

Sorry, the above was not really accurate, it's the kernel package that generates the initramfs. The initramfs-tools package provides a trigger to automate the process. I am using a custom kernel package from someone else, which obviously does not push that trigger.

Thanks!
