Sounds ok to me. But I was of the impression we had much more rcS init
scripts which could dep loops. At least under certain configurations.
I remember nfs-common/rpcbind, ifupdown in combination with firewalld or
NetworkManager, setserial and that's just from the top of my head.

But yeah, let's start with the packages we know for sure are
problematic. Ideally we should send a patch along with it, for those
that don't have one yet. At least for those packages which are important
/ aren't leaf packages.

Cheers,
Michael
