To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start
boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of
the various boot scripts.  The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d
header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to
the anacron init.d script would make it possible for me to use this
information to check the current sequence and to speed up the debian
boot.

I am working on a system to update the boot sequence based on these
dependencies, and would like see this as the default in Lenny.
Because of this, it is nice if the dependencies was updated quickly.

<URL:http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html>
documents the LSB header format.  Some debian notes are available from
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>.

As the ipmasq package is using the same script inserted in different
positions in the boot sequence, I am unable to provide a trivial patch
to fix this.  Adding support will require rewriting how the init.d
script is handled.

Happy hacking,
