Bug#490068: system-tools-backends: problems using lsb?

[Ivan Vucica]

Package: system-tools-backends
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: important

This happened during today's upgrade. I know nothing more. I used to
have package "splashy" installed which apparently messes with some of the lsb
settings (it's "ubuntufying" them, making the startup sequence look like
Ubuntu's).

Apparently splashy left /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh installed. 

I'd report this bug to both splashy and system-tools-backends if I knew
how to. It's certainly splashy wreaking havoc, too, but I upgraded many
packages yesterday and none has complained except system-tools-backends.
