[Bug 527639] Re: boinc should use chrt instead of schedtool

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: boinc-client
  
  boinc-client 6.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu2.
  Currently boinc-client init script (/etc/init.d/boinc-client) uses schedtool to set scheduling policy for BOINC client. I think it should use chrt(1) for this, because:
  * schedtool has to be installed separately, and nothing except boinc-client depend on it.
  * chrt is a part of util-linux package, which is essential, so almost every Ubuntu user has it installed.
+ 
+ 
+ TODO:
+  - Check if util-linux is essential on Debian, too.
