Thank you for your test report.  I am happy to learn that more people
are working on the dependency based boot system. :)

Good point.  Both of them should be changed as well.

I see several options.  I know the modutils package is being removed,
so replacing it with module-init-tools is probably a good idea.
Listing them both as should-start could be an idea too, to place the
libdevmapper1.0.21 after either if any of them are installed.

Happy hacking,
