Hello, and thanks for coming back on this,

>From initramfs: 

Erm, not to my knowledge. I am using a default install of
splashy/testing.

Start up scripts:

The rc2.d script not starting are anacron, cron and a custom script
setting cpu-freq. Those I know did not start for sure. I'll try to
come up with a definitive list.

Cheers
