[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#383963: dbus: hald fails to start on boot, but starts fine after

[Jamin W. Collins]

Package: dbus
Version: 0.62-4
Severity: important

By default, dbus installs its init script at S20.  While at this level,
it would consistently fail to start hald during boot.  However, if dbus
was restarted (via restart or stop/start) it would succeed in starting
the hald process.  Experimentation led me to move the startup point for
dbus and I found that it works fine at S21 or higher.  I know this
sounds strange, but I believe the problem lies with my system's use of
LDAP.  The nscd daemon also starts at S20.  If I stop nscd and then try
to restart dbus, hald fails to start.  However, as long as nscd is
running hald starts fine.

This appears to be related to #379164 and #370569 potentially.
