I've updated the documentation on
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>, and it now reads for
$local_fs and $remote_fs:

  $local_fs  all local filesystems are mounted. All scripts that write in
             /var/ need to depend on this, unless they already depend on
             $remote_fs.

  $remote_fs all filesystems are mounted. In some LSB run-time
             environments, filesystems such as /usr may be remote. If
             the script need a mounted /usr/, it need to depend on
             $remote_fs. Scripts depending on $remote_fs do not need to
             depend on $local_fs.

Should I add more?  It used to say the opposite, before I got more
experience with the dependency based boot system and found out what
made sense.

Happy hacking,
