Startup scripts are config files? Wow that's news to me.

They all include /etc/defaults/something for a good reason: So you don't

Only if the recipe happens to use update-rc. Quite some packages don't 
use it and just create the symlinks themselves.


As I recall, this suggestion has been made before and was rejected then.
