Subject: vServer Build mysteriously cleaning up existing runlevel (method "template")

Hello,

we roll out some vServers with the vserver build template function:

vserver <name> build --context <num> --hostname <name> --interface <ip>  \
-m template -- -t <tarball> -d debian

The tarball contains an /etc/rc2.d directory with a few services preinstalled.

vserver build uses the tarball leaving nothing but these two files in /etc/rc2.d:

S01rsyslog -> ../init.d/rsyslog
S03rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local

Why would vserver build clean up the runlevel and delete all other links? While all
the preinstalled
scripts have runlevel 2 set as "Default start" in the LSB header.

I couldn't find an option to change this and I also didn't find something searching
through
/usr/lib/util-vserver/vserver-build*

Any hints?

Best regards

Lars
