I would really like to see that happen. Any volunteers ? Currently I do
not have the time to do the NMUs on other packages myself. I will find
time to include needed features in logcheck although (some way... :-) ).

The problem with logcheck <-> logrotate *should* hopefully be fixed with
the new version. Please tell me if there are any problems left.

A dependency-based init script is already available, please look at
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/boot-scripts/
It could simplify the init process, maybe with the introduction of
virtual init script names (as we have virtual package names) for the
need command. Currently I am using file-rc, but it is still too complex
for most uses.
