 ### BEGIN INIT INFO
-# Provides:          unscd nscd
+# Provides:          unscd
 # Required-Start:    $remote_fs
 # Required-Stop:     $remote_fs
 # Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
 # Default-Stop:      0 1 6
 # Short-Description: Starts the Micro Name Service Cache Daemon
+# Description:  This is a daemon which handles passwd and group lookups
+#              for running programs and caches the results for the next
+#              query.  You should start this daemon only if you use
+#              slow Services like NIS or NIS+
 ### END INIT INFO
 
+# NB: Because insserv is slightly broken (#606593), we cannot provide
+# nscd, as this would break installs which hadn't already purged nscd.
+# However, if you have init scripts which depend on nscd, feel free to
+# change Provides: unscd to Provides: unscd nscd after purging nscd.
