Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.11-4

alsa-utils script in the initscripts requires the metapackage $syslog (i.e. sysklogd or syslog scripts) to start but it is ordered to start before it. The reason for this is that S50alsa-utils is placed on the /etc/rcS.d/ symbolic link pool while S10sysklogd is in /etc/rc2.d/.

$ less /etc/rcS.d/S50alsa-utils
....
# Required-Start:    $syslog
...
$ ls /etc/rc2.d
...
S10sysklogd
...

I suggest that the script's symbolic link is placed on /etc/rc2.d instead of /etc/rcS.d. Any order above 10 should do. /etc/rc2.d/S15alsa-utils works for me. Besides, if lintian or linda would report when dependency information is missing, it would be easier to use a script adjust the order of the init scripts to ensure that these are met for each system (as dependency information would be available).

I am using Debian GNU/Linux Unstable, kernel 2.6.16-2-486
