Package:  dhcp3-server
Version:  4.1.1-P1-9
User:     debian-edu at lists.debian.org
UserTags: debian-edu
User:     initscripts-ng-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: incorrect-dependency

The dhcp3-server package left behind a init.d script, causing
migration to dependency based boot sequencing to block:

  info: Checking if it is safe to convert to dependency based boot.

  error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
  error: Problems detected: package dhcp3-server left obsolete init.d
    script behind

  See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for
  more information about dependency based boot sequencing. To
  reattempt the migration process run 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'.

 /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf 2c6d17418db15a6a5565e0157d894443 obsolete

I guess the init.d script should be removed in the postinst of
dhcp3-server.

Happy hacking,
