We could provide default settings that lead to the LSB-specified
functionality that Javier suggests, but without falling in RedHat's
IMHO fucked up habit of starting [xwkg]dm not from an explicit script
(/etc/rc?.d/Sxx?dm), but directly from /etc/inittab, hiding it from
the user. If our display manager packages are set up to start only
from runlevel 4 or higher, but you and me can set them up to start on
any lower ones, we'll all be happy, won't we? Same thing for
networking.
