I've commited a few fixes for the sysvinit package to svn, and believe
it is time for a new release.  Anyone got any pending changes they
plan to get into this release?

I've looked at the bugs with the patch tag, and commited a few of
them.  I would like to have some help reviewing #374543 and #368793.

I'll check a few of the other bugs as well, and add comments and tag
the ones I fix in svn pending.

This is the current changelog in svn:

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-15~1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Modify LSB header for init.d/rmnologin, to make sure it is run
    with 'stop' argument for runlevel 0 and 6, and make it depend on
    '$all' to put it last in the startup sequence.
  * Update the descripton in LSB header for init.d/hostname.sh.
  * Fix 'startpar' concurrency option to only run start and stop
    scripts once.  Patch from Sören Köpping. (Closes: #378092)
  * Update init.d/rc to move the definition of the startup() function
    after /etc/default/rcS is sourced, to make it possible to specify
    the CONCURRENCY setting in the rcS conffile.
  * Fix typo in update-rc.d.8 manual page.  Patch from Justin
    Pryzby. (Closes: #374476)
  * Improve text in init.d/README to make it more obvious that the .sh
    scripts should be working when executed individually.  Patch from
    Bart Martens.  (Closes: #362888)
  * Modify the comment before the calls to on_ac_power, to document
    that checkfs.sh and checkroot.sh are written to work just fine
    when /usr/bin/on_ac_power is unavailable. (Closes: #367867)
  * Acknoledge NMU.  Thanks, Steinar H. Gunderson . (Closes: #359176)

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * Remove myself from uploaders list.
