Thank you for the patch.  I will test it and see if we can use it.

It is currently only recommended to use them, and several scripts are
missing this header.  But lintian warns about those missing them, so I
hope in a not to distant future all init.d scripts will have
dependency information.  I believe most of the packages in the base
and desktop profile already have this header present.  You can reorder
the boot sequence already by installing and activating the insserv
package, but it is a bit experimental and not for production use.

Friendly,
