+  The script proposed below had a problem with removed but not purged
+  packages.  This version check to make sure the package is installed
+  before trying to reinstall it:
+
+    for p in `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*|cut -d: -f1|sort -u`; do
+      if dpkg --get-selections $p | grep -qw install ; then
+        echo reinstalling $p
+        apt-get --reinstall install $p
+      fi
+    done
+
+  It will ask for each package if it should be reinstalled or not.  To
+  avoid this, add -y as an argument for apt-get.
