Makes sense.

I actually think that the original bug submitter is wanting it started
*later*, not earlier. However, I am not seeing how this is something
that is related to sysv-init and should be handled in a way outside of
this system. Especially since networking should be up by runlevel 2 S20
(unless someone has some asynchronous networking situation such as
network manager, dhcp or something else going on...)
