[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#548356: mdadm: monitor init script should depend on $syslog

thanks

I was preparing a NMU with a fix fix for the incorrect dependency
header in the mdadm script when it occured to me that it is not safe
to upload that fix without fixing the incorrect headers in the
cryptdisks and cryptdisks-early scripts first.  If the fix for mdadm
is uploaded first, a dependency loop is introduced, as the cryptdisks
scripts in rcS.d/ depend on mdadm in rc2.d, and cryptdisk is a
dependency of both $local_fs and $syslog when cryptsetup is installed.

Because of this, bug #541396 in mdadm should only be fixed after bug
#548356 in cryptsetup is fixed.

I urge the cryptsetup maintainers to fix #548356 quickly.

Happy hacking,
