Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the file-rc package.

The package description is:
 This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to
 shut it down and to change runlevels.  The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be
 converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf
 instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also
 more flexible.
 .
 The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into
 the file method on installation, and convert the file back into
 symlinks on removal. Both mechanisms are compatible through
 /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS, /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, and
 /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d scripts.

At the moment this package requires some action because it is required
to implement insserv functionality here, see Bug#539591.
At the moment I personally won't find the time to dig deep enough into
insserv to code this.

So I request for an adopter of this package.

Tschoeeee
