Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.87dsf-8.1 Severity: normal Hi,
When upgrading to squeeze (or installing a new squeeze), a dependency based boot system is used (or at least is tried). While this system has many advantage, it is a new one. Most admin does not have knowledge of it but lots of them will have to deal with: - pb when upgrading - bad order due to local particularity in the installed system - local init scripts to setup - ... Currently, it is very difficult to find a easy entry point with documentation for local admin about dependency based boot system (ie doc that allows to anser to the previously cited points). I think that, for squeeze, /etc/init.d/README must be updated to, at least, point to a useful documentation somewhere in /usr/share/doc (/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README-dependency-boot-system.txt to be written ?) For now, I did not find myself a useful doc about dependency based boot system. I know I can google and look at the sources, but I would expect that Debian provides a useful doc for admin when introducing such a big change in the administration of the machine.
