I had a look at the source of watchdog, and discovered that the calls to init.d script headers did not reflect the arguments used when calling update-rc.d. This make the headers incorrect, and it is vital to have them fixed. Here is a proposal tofix them. It is dropping $local_fs as it is a sub-dependency on $remote_fs, and also dropping $syslog from wd_keepalive.init as it used to start before the syslog implementation. Default-Stop runlevels listed in wd_keepalive are not used in the call to update-rc.d, and I thus assume they are wrong in the header. With this change, wd_keepalive is started early only in runlevels 2-5, and watchdog will start after it. If you want watchdog to start after other scripts as well, these scripts should be listed in a Should-Start header (and probably also in a Should-Stop) to get it to stop before these other init.d scripts.
