Archive wide checking of init.d scripts - summary

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Now the list of errors in init.d scripts based on an archive wide

I believe all of them are reported to BTS, but some of them might have
been forgotten or overlooked.  Please help to get these fixed in
Debian, either by poking the maintainer, NMUing or checking that all
issues are reported to BTS.
<URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot > got
more info.

In addition to these errors, there are a few packages that fail to
install because of hard init.d script dependencies without an
equivalent package dependency.  This is the list from
<URL:http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/insserv_error.html>:

The last half need to be reported to BTS.  As always, please help out
and join us on #pkg-sysvinit (irc.debian.org) to coordinate the
work. :)

Happy hacking,
