I fixed sysvinit-2.59 to work with 1.3.81 and dumped the changes in sunsite's incoming. It's running fine for me and allows runlevel changes.
Check out: sysvinit-2.59-3.diff/tar.gz/lsm in sunsite's Incoming dir.
Sorry if I've offended with the naming of the package, but I noticed the Debian patch 2 so felt I should increment it to avoid confusion.
