OK, I didn't know that. If one were interested in not-Debian-compatibility,
which is my primary motivation here, one could perhaps implement chkconfig as
a wrapper around sysv-rc-conf, but chkconfig isn't actually that big to make
this worthwhile.

This refers to the graphical interface. All the bugs are in the BTS.

For example, when I disable a service, insserv reorders the dependencies to
make them more optimal. chkconfig also interacts with the LSB init script
headers in intelligent ways, which I don't see in sysv-rc-conf.
