The last week or so, I have worked on the dependency based boot sequencing, and I am happy to report that it actually work now. There are a few corner cases, but in the common case (as in with the packages included in a desktop install), the boot ordering is working as it should.
Now it needs testers, and people to report packages with missing LSB headers in their init.d scripts, as well as testers to detect bugs in the dependency information provided by init.d scripts. Please help me test this feature to get it ready for Lenny.

See <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot> for instructions and known issues with the dependency headers in unstable. Several more scripts to depend on $remote_fs for the shutdown order, to make sure they get a chance to kill their process before it is done by sendsigs (or they should just just remove the stop symlinks in runlevel 0 and 6, if that make sense for them).
