Bug description:
  Package: gnome-system-tools
  Version: 1.3.0.1-0

  The ntpdate package installs an S symlink for ntpdate in
  /etc/rcS.d/.  I disabled this by hand: I renamed it from
  S51ntpdate to K51ntpdate.  (This is the correct way to disable
  a script in rcS.d/.)

  I ran g-s-t "Services" manager and enabled ntpdate.  It
  created an S50ntpdate symlink in the current multiuser runlevel
  (3), leaving the K symlink in rcS.d/ still present. This less
  than ideal.  If 3:S50ntpdate is the proper location for the
  S symlink then the ntpdate package should not put an S symlink
  in rcS.d/.  If rcS.d/ is the right place for the symlink then
  g-s-t should not put one in the current multiuser runlevel.
