[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#834284: RFA: insserv -- boot sequence organizer using LSB init.d script dependency information

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Following the advice in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811377#10
I request an adopter for the insserv package, which should be taken
over along with sysvinit and startpar.

The package description is:
 The insserv program is used by the standard SysV-based init system. It
 updates the order of symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ based on dependencies
 specified by LSB headers in the init.d scripts themselves.
 .
 These declared relations between scripts make it possible to optimize
 the boot sequence for the currently installed set of packages, while
 detecting and rejecting dependency loops.
 .
 Using insserv incorrectly can result in an unbootable system.
