Here is a new quick update on this release goal. There are 10 packages without init.d script dependency headers in unstable/sid, and 13 packages in testing/lenny. Because all of the packages used by Debian Edu now have dependency headers, we have enabled dependency based boot sequencing for the

Here is a quick update on this release goal. Thanks to the great help of Peter Eisentraut and Morten Werner Forsbring with NMUing packages, there is now around 30 packages left in unstable without dependency information in their init.d scripts. 10 of these are scheduled for removal, 10 are pendi

Here is a small update on this release goal. More than 77% of the packages in Debian now got dependency information in their init.d scripts. This morning, a BTS report is available for all scripts missing the LSB header. Next step is NMUs to fix the packages. I assume we will find some bugs in
