+Dependency based boot sequencing is the default in Debian.  The
+insserv program is used by sysv-rc to order init.d scripts based on
+their declared dependencies.
+
+An experimental feature to run init.d scripts in parallel is also
+available.  To enable it, use the CONCURRENCY setting in
+/etc/default/rcS to enable it.
 
 In short:
 
   # Enable parallel booting
-  echo CONCURRENCY=shell >> /etc/default/rcS
-
-  # Update boot sequence
-  update-bootsystem-insserv
-
-  # At this point, I recommend examining the order in /etc/rcS.d/ and
-  # /etc/rc2.d/ carefully, to verify that the configuration actually
-  # will boot.  Update /etc/insserv/overrides/ or
-  # /usr/share/insserv/overrides/ with better dependency information
-  # if the boot order is incorrect, and run insserv -v to update the
-  # boot order.

+The 'makefile' style concurrency depend on complete and correct
+dependencies in all init.d scripts.  There is a simpler and less
+strict style 'startpar', which only require all scripts with the same
+sequence number to be able to run in parallel, and thus accept
+incomplete dependencies as long as the boot sequence number is OK.

 To monitor the boot sequence, the bootchart project is a good choice.
 Debian packages are available in etch and sid.  The project itself is
