[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#386624: Inaccurate / incorrect dependency info in init.d script

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.11-6

Currently, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils include this LSB-formatted
dependency information:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          alsa-utils
# Required-Start:    mountall
# Required-Stop:     mountall
# Should-Start:
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start:     S
# Default-Stop:      0 6
### END INIT INFO

It can be improved for the 'sbtart' case, and is wrong for the 'stop'
case.  The mountall script is the script implementing the $local_fs
facility, so I recommend using that instead of mountall in
required-start.  And mountall do not exist in runlevel 0 and 6, where
umountfs do the equvalent job.  It too implement the $local_fs
facility.  Because of this, I recommend changing the dependency header
to this:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          alsa-utils
# Required-Start:    $local_fs
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs
# Default-Start:     S
# Default-Stop:      0 6
### END INIT INFO

This way it will document that it should start after the non-networked
file systems are available, and be taken down just before the same
non-networked file systems are umounted.
