Bug#475454: gpm: missing LSB dependency in initscript

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-3
Severity: important
User: initscripts-ng-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: missing-dependency

Hello,

I've just enabled dependency based ordering of the initscripts via
insserv. Since this change, gpm fails to stop at shutdown process: it is
already stopped by the sendsigs, and /var is not available any longer.

This can simply be fixed by adding a dependency on $remote_fs to both
Required-Start and Required-Stop.

Please see the Petter Reinholdtsens comments on the initscripts-ng-devel
mailinglist regarding this issue:

greetings,
 jonas
