how to get issue tracker access?

I just checked a test SP here that is auto-updating, and found that shibd was
not running, and the symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ were gone.  The /etc/init.d/shibd
script itself was properly updated.

I haven't investigated further, so this is just a guess, but I noticed that the
package name changed, to shibboleth-sp -- maybe the uninstall scriptlet from
the old package was invoked and removed the service?
