Anyone against implementing (3)?  Anyone know why it was flagged as an
obsolete feature in the first place?  I do not have any strong opinion
either way.  Any proposal on what we should write in the manual page?

I expect it will continue to be a code fragment in init.d/rc, called
after all the other boot scripts are called, so yeah.  Do not expect
any changes there.

If no-one objects, I can undo the commit and upload a new package to
unstable, but would like help with the manual page text.

Happy hacking,
