Dependency based boot sequence
It is possible to converting Debian to order the boot sequence using the LSB headers in the init.d scripts. This will get rid of several bugs in the current boot sequence, and make it easier to keep the sequence correct.
Advantages
Did you every need to insert a init.d scripts Y before init.d scripts Z and after init.d script X, where both Z and X is started using boot sequence number 20 (as in 20X and 20Z)? Adding your script as 20Y would not cut it, because you need Z to start before X. To do this, in Debian you currently need to talk to the maintainer of packages with scripts Z and X, asking one of them (or both) to move their script into a different number. Dependency based boot sequencing make it possible for each package maintainer to specify the dependencies of its scripts, and leave the number allocation to the dependency resolver.
Status
This page is created to keep track of the state of this feature, to make it easier to coordinate an effort to implement it for Debian Lenny. It is [http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2007/06/msg00164.html proposed] as a [http://release.debian.org/lenny-goals.txt release goal] for Lenny.

With the current rate (2007-12-30) of packages being fixed to include the dependency information, it will take 410 days until all the remaining packages are fixed. Thanks to the default values provided since insserv version 1.09.0-4, most scripts get a useful start sequence position even without an LSB header. Scripts in rcS.d/ need a proper header, still.

Known issues
The setserial package is not installable due to [http://bugs.debian.org/460142 duplicate] provides in its init.d scripts.
There is a real dependency loop in the init.d scripts in mysql-server-5.0. A fix [http://bugs.debian.org/458798 is proposed for this package].
- It is not possible to migrate between exim and postfix without purging the other package, due to conflicting provides.
- Some scripts provide the same service, and this confuses insserv. Some of the scripts are scripts that have been removed from their package, but not properly removed from disk. This make insserv refuse to install these init.d scripts and thus the package fail to install when dependency based boot sequencing is enabled.
[http://bugs.debian.org/458582 A bug in insserv] make it report a dependency loop when there really isn't one. It happen when the combined dependency tree for both the start and stop sequence have a loop, but none of them have it individually.
[http://bugs.debian.org/460034 A bug in insserv] make it leave symlinks behind in rc*.d/ when instructed to remove them, unless the runlevel is listed in default-start or default-stop.
To see the boot and reboot sequence dependecy graph, use
aptitude install insserv graphviz /usr/share/insserv/check-initd-order -g > boot.dot /usr/share/insserv/check-initd-order -g -k > reboot.dot dotty boot.dot dotty reboot.dot
The number of packages with init.d scripts was counted using apt-file update && apt-file search etc/init.d|cut -d: -f1|sort -u|wc -l in Debian/Sid. The number of packages missing LSB headers are fetched from [http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags.html the lintian reports] for the [http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tinit.d-script-missing-lsb-section.html init.d-script-missing-lsb-section] tag. The number of base and desktop packages missing headers were counted by creating chroots with debootstrap and tasksel.
To enable dependency based boot, the [http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/insserv.html insserv] package can be used. At debconf7, Petter Reinholdtsen gave a [http://user.skolelinux.no/~pere/mypapers/200706-bootseq/200706-bootseq.html talk] about the dependency based boot system. To enable it, install the insserv package and activate it like this:
aptitude install insserv && dpkg-reconfigure insserv
Make sure to use insserv version 1.09.0-6 or higher.
