My thought was to have the source code and manual pages in the SysV
upstream repository and tarballs. Then Debian (or any other distro)
could optionally install file-rc so it's available. Enabling it would
probably still be up to the user.

Though I haven't looked closely at it, I don't think there is much to
maintain or build in the file-rc package. It looks like it's mostly
documentation and shell scripts.
