 _Description: Migrate legacy boot sequence to dependency based sequencing?
- This is a one way migration, where the old way of specifying boot
- sequence numbers for init.d scripts is made obsolete, and the
- dependency information provided in each init.d is used to generate the
- sequence numbers.
+ With dependency based boot sequencing, the order of boot and shutdown
+ scripts is calculated dynamically when a new package is installed
+ using dependency information provided with each init.d script.  This
+ allow some long standing problems with the boot sequence to be
+ solved, and make it possible to detect when new problems are
+ introduced into the boot and shutdown sequence.
  .
- If you see this question, it mean that a test checking for dependency
- loops, obsolete scripts and other potential problems found no error
- and believe it is safe to convert the current system to use
- dependency based boot sequencing.
+ This is a one way migration, where the old way of ordering boot
+ scripts using hardcoded sequence numbers is made obsolete, and the
+ dependency information provided is used to generate the sequence
+ numbers instead.
+ .
+ If you see this question, the automatic tests used to check if it any
+ dependency loops, obsolete init.d scripts or other potential problem
+ found nothing, and thus believe it is safe to convert the current
+ system to use dependency based boot sequencing.
