So why does PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS default to "no"?  Binary packages should be
doing as much as possible to ease installation in the default case (which is
a restatement of Havard's restatement of what I said earlier :).

Again, I see no reason it should be possible to disable copying rc.d scripts
unless you're also wanting to disable CONF_FILES and friends at the same
time.  rc.d scripts, in my view, are just another kind of CONF_FILES.
