Make that: "there *was* a command, chkconfig:"

It's no longer present in Debian stable (stretch) and later. You can
still find it in oldstable (jessie) though. See

https://packages.debian.org/search?arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=chkconfig

# Searching in unstable (sid) lists the command for a small subset of
# architectures but a chkconfig package does not seem to exist ...

Hope this helps,
