To be able to check boot script order and also to be able to start
boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of
the various boot scripts.  The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d
header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to
the sysklogd and klogd init.d script would make it possible for me to
use this information to check the current sequence and speed up the
debian boot.

Although this is not yet a release requirement for Etch, adding them 
now will enable a smoother transition in the future.

These 3 documents explain what is required:
