Thank you for the heads up.  The two errors need to be fixed in the
packages jackd and timidity.  If you want to work around the problem
you can just remove the obsolete scripts yourself.

The error is basicly that a package used to have a init.d script, but
then dropped it without removing it from the existing installation
during upgrade.

CC to initscripts-ng-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org to let the others
working on dependency based boot sequencing know about the issue.
Both should be investigated and reported as bugs to BTS.  Can you
provide the output from 'md5sum /etc/init.d/jackd
/etc/init.d/timidity'?  Would be useful to know which files should be
removed.

Happy hacking,
