+regenerating /etc/default/rcS
+-----------------------------
+It would be nice to regenerate /etc/default/rcS so that people have
+updated comments; however the code to update the file should preserve
+not only the settings of seven variables but also any additional
+variable settings in the file (such as TZ); it should also not add any
+settings that are absent from the file.  So if the admin has commented
+out "VERBOSE" then no "VERBOSE=" line should be written.
+
+In svn r541 I removed code from initscripts postinst that didn't meet
+all these requirements.
