Package: brltty
Version: 6.3+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When using sysvinit as the init system, brltty
shows "screen not in text mode" at the lightdm and gdm3 login screen.
This is because the /var/lib/BrlAPI/0 socket is missing at boot.
The fix is to add "$local_fs" to the "Required-Start" line of /etc/init.d/brltty.
So, the lsb header of /etc/init.d/brltty should read as follows:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: brltty
# Required-Start: mountkernfs $local_fs
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start: udev
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Braille terminal driver
# Description: Used to provide access to refreshable braille terminals.
### END INIT INFO
Implementing this fix to brltty in debian would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
