  Yeah, that's not normal. s6-rc-update should remove the links when it
brings the old services down, and should also add the links when it
brings the new services up. I don't have an exact picture of what is
actually happening in all cases; I didn't have the time today, but I'll
do more testing on that tomorrow.
