You asked during debconf what the correct dependency information for
the hwclock.sh init.d script should be. Here is a small update. As
/etc/localtime no longer is a symlink into /usr/, but a copy of the
timezone information, the only thing needed is visible /dev/rtc and a

Right. I did not know that. As long as the LSB-style dependency
information reflect this intention, I am happy, because my dependency
based boot system will then get it all correct. :)

I just checked /sbin/hwclock, and based on the use of /dev/rtc, I
believe it should start after mountdevsubfs. So t
Since I first reported this issue I have learned more on how to
properly document the dependencies, and util-linux is one of the last
packages with init.d scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ without such dependency
information. Please add dependency info to the scripts, and ignore my
previous proposal and use
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12p-8
Severity: wishlist
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 thi
