Question re deprecated rcN.d launched utils

Greetings;

Touring the system investigating selinux alerts naming the Console*-daemon, it 
came to my attention that I had the start-stop links for ConsoleKit, LISa, and 
fglrx laying around, but that there were no corresponding files at the other 
end of the link in ../init.d.  So I nuked them.  Inspecting the ConsoleKit 
packages seems to indicate those files are not now part of the system.  
However, it was strange in that I could not rm them by typing the names, but 
had to copy paste the names into the command line.  That seemed odd, but on 
further inspection with htop, the 50+ copies of ConsoleKit normally running on 
my F8 system are also on the missing list.

Is this something I need to fix ASAP?  According to yumex, all the ConsoleKit 
stuff is installed.  Looking at SEadmin, the consolekit policy module is 
version 1.2.0.

Rights on the console-kit-daemon are:
root at coyote ~]# ls -la --context /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
-rwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:consolekit_exec_t:s0 
/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon

Selinuxtroubleshooter says I should do a restorecon -v './console-kit-daemon', 
but it returns silently and changes nothing.
 
Things are sort of working, and I will post other messages about a couple of 
miss-fires I'm found so far, so they are in separate threads.

Thanks.
