 _Description: Migrate legacy boot sequencing to dependency based sequencing?
- With dependency based boot sequencing, the order of boot and shutdown
- scripts is calculated dynamically using dependency information
- provided with each init.d script when a new package is installed.
- This allow some long standing problems with the boot and shutdown
- sequences to be solved, and make it possible to detect when new
- problems are introduced into the boot and shutdown sequence.
+ The boot system is prepared to migrate to dependency based sequencing.
+ It is recommended to migrate in order to enhance the boot system for the
+ following reasons:
+  * the order of boot and shutdown is calculated dynamically, using dependency
+    information declared in a comment header within each init.d script, which
+    ensures optimum boot sequence for the set of packages installed on the
+    system
+  * protection against problems introduced by new or upgraded packages
+    by preserving the boot sequence when problems are detected; the boot
+    sequence is only modified if it is safe to do so
+  * potential for further optimization by way of concurrent boot methodology
+    in order to increase boot efficiency
  .
- This is a one way migration, where the old way of ordering boot
- scripts using fixed sequence numbers is made obsolete, and the
- dependency information provided is used to generate the sequence
- numbers instead.
+ This migration process is non-reversible. The legacy way of ordering boot
+ scripts using static sequence numbers will be made obsolete by choosing to
+ migrate.
  .
- 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.
+ See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for more
+ information about dependency based boot sequencing.

 _Description: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot system.
- With dependency based boot sequencing, the order of boot and shutdown
- scripts is calculated dynamically using dependency information
- provided with each init.d script when a new package is installed.
- This allow some long standing problems with the boot and shutdown
- sequences to be solved, and make it possible to detect when new
- problems are introduced into the boot and shutdown sequence.
+ Tests have determined that problems in the boot system exist which prevent
+ migration to dependency based boot sequencing.
  .
- Please check out the migration problems manually.  The sysv-rc
- package is unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing
- until this is fixed. See
- http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for more
- information on how to solve the issues blocking the migration.  Most
- likely, it is a bug in the binary package with the init.d script in
- question, and not with insserv and sysv-rc.  To retry this migration
- after addressing the issues, run 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'.

  .
- These were the problems detected: ${PROBLEMATIC}
+ The detected problems, listed below, need to be reported to and fixed by the
+ maintainer of the package/software which installed a problematic boot init.d
+ script or manually corrected. When reporting bugs belonging to boot init.d
+ scripts provided by packages with the reportbug utility, quote the problem
+ descriptions below. 
+ .
+ See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for more
+ information about how to fix the problems preventing migration. To reattempt
+ the migration process after the problems have been fixed, run
+ 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'.
