I have no idea what you are trying to say here. I don't think it
addresses the original poster at all.

The original post was about a suspected change in how services are
handled at package install time in F10 compared to F9.  Nothing in the
package install scripts have changed.  Those scripts have not
changed..so the original poster's interpretation of the system
response is most likely wrong and he needs to look elsewhere.
