Sure (found a copy from a backup). They *do* have "BEGIN INIT INFO"
headers (I grepped for all files in /etc/init.d/ that lacked the
headers, while trying to track down the problem, and they did not appear
on that list). I also remember that the "dpkg-query -W
-f='${Conffiles}\n'" command (in sysv-rc.postinst) did report "obsolete"
for those three... I don't know what criteria that uses, though.
Here's the contents of "bootlogd":

The other two files' headers are:

# Provides: stop-bootlogd
# Required-Start: $local_fs $all
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Stop bootlogd
# Description: See the init.d/bootlogd script
### END INIT INFO
and
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: stop-bootlogd-single
# Required-Start: $local_fs $all
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Stop bootlogd in single user mode
# Description: See the init.d/bootlogd script
### END INIT INFO
Deleting all three cleared up the problem.. my system is now running
with dependency-based boot.
cheers,
