Running Console-setup Earlier



The new console-setup from Sid providing uniform console properties to Xorg 
and elsewhere places init scripts:

~$ locate console | grep rcS
/etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh
/etc/rcS.d/S49console-setup

These get run fairly late on the bootup sequence. This is OK but can yield a 
funny screen repaint mid-boot if I choose anything but the good old vga font.

The realtime patch 2.6.29 kernel, for some reason, has the whole screen 
kerblooey on bootup until ... that console-setup repaint sets things right. So 
I might want to run it sooner, i.e. place a symlink in /etc/rc0.d/S10console-
setup or such.

Is this correct?
Do I dare (must be some reason these were placed as S48/S49....)?
Do I need both of them?
Best/earliest S## prefix(s) to use?
