Yes, any adequate "parallelizing" run-parts needs to allow for a
partial ordering of script execution.
I have prepared two different experimental packages (implementing
different ideas) containing parallelizing versions of run-parts.
Both of them allow you to declare dependencies among scripts using
a Makefile-like syntax. Thus if bar needs to run after foo then you
declare:
bar : foo

I don't think so. Suppose you want to try my run-parts-concurrently
package. Just install the package and then change the 'run-parts'
lines in ip-up and ip-down to 'run-parts-concurrently'.
