Actually, a shutdown dependency mean that a service need to shut down
_after_ a service with the dependency, not before it.

Also, services who need a shutdown script and that depend on scripts
that do not have a shutdown script, can depend on sendsigs instead, so
that is not a reason to keep a script.  It is only a reason to be
careful when we move to a dependency based boot sequencing.

Happy hacking,
