Ah, right.  I did not notice that.

What you write do not contract a should-* dependency.  The
should-start dependency means that the script can be installed even if
the dependency is missing, but if the dependency is installed, the
dependency has to start before the script.  Using should-* style
dependencies only affect how hard the scripts are linked, not their
ordering when both are present.

So I leave that decision to you, if you want the package to fail to
install or not if module-init-tools is missing.

Happy hacking,
