Even if it is desirable to convert openafs-client to upstart right now,
forcing dkms to load after rc would force openafs-client to load after
rc.  This will be a problem for other services that depend on openafs,
such as apache2 installations with docroot in /afs.

dkms provides kernel modules, and userspace services always depends on
kernel modules being available, never the other way around, so delaying
dkms toward the very end of the boot process seems strange anyway.

In short, I see many advantages to loading dkms before legacy SysV
services, and no advantages to loading it after.  The upstart transition
can happen either way.  Is there something I missed?

Perhaps we should try to get feedback from an Upstart developer?
