I uploaded code to enable parallel booting by default in unstable a
few days ago, and besides a stupid bug breaking the boot for those
using CONCURRENCY=startpar or CONCURRENCY=startpar for some hours, it
seem to not produce a lot of bug reports.
The only package with problems I am aware of is the wicd package. No
idea if all users are affected or if it only affect some combination
of packages.
To increase concurrency during boot, it is a good idea to move scripts
out of rcS.d/ and into rc[1-5].d/.
I've updated
<URL: http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/BootPerformance > with info
about this switch.
Happy hacking,
