Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the sysvinit source package.
This review will last from Saturday, September 12, 2009 to Tuesday, September 22, 2009.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

This is an attempt to make it short.
This can be summarized to "go and read README.Debian" if you have no
idea about what to answer.
As a consequence, I propose keeping only the important information in
the template:
- what this is about (switching to dependency-based)
- where is full info about this (README.Debian)
- this is non reversible
- what you need to do if you refuse now
I'll add the proposed README.Debian file to this review. In
short....it picks the information that was formerly in the template.

About the same rationale.
Here, I also propose moving the important bit of info higher in the
template and isolate "${PROBLEMATIC}" in a dedicated (non
translatable) paragraph. That will avoid errors by translators who
might be tempted to translate the variable name.

Description: scripts for initializing and shutting down the system
The scripts in this package initialize a standard Debian
GNU/Linux system at boot time and shut it down at halt or
reboot time.

Migrating to dependency-based boot sequencing
---------------------------------------------
It is recommended to migrate for the following reasons:
- the order of boot and shutdown is calculated dynamically, using
dependency information declared within each init.d script, which
ensures optimum and correct boot sequence for the set of installed
packages;
- protection against problems introduced by new or upgraded packages
by preserving the boot sequence when problems are detected; the boot
sequence is only modified if it is safe to do so;
- potential for further optimization by way of concurrent boot
methodology in order to increase boot efficiency;
- fixes long standing issues with the legacy, static priority based
boot ordering.
This migration process is non-reversible. The legacy way of ordering
boot scripts using static sequence numbers will be made obsolete by
choosing to migrate. Any boot sequence changes done locally will be
lost and have to redone using dependencies.
See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for
more information about dependency based boot sequencing.
