Right.  The pdns-server should list a relationship to slapd, and
pdns-recursor should not.

So they can start in any order during boot?  I notice they used to
start with sequence number 19 and 20, and thus believed they should
continue to have that boot order.

Nothing.  The should-start statement mean that if the provides listed
there are present, the currenet script should start after the scripts
providing the listed provides.  The should-* headers only take effect
if the packages/provides listed there are installed/present.

Yes.
