That's a good point Tom. insserv is not even properly parallel,
just some kind of half-@$$ed semi-parallel - starting groups of
services in parallel but the groups are run serially. I'd like
to call the old mechanism "sysv-rc" but the insserv developer has
abused the Debian package upgrade process to turn "sysv-rc" into
insserv hell.
We're trying to figure out the cleanest way to stop insserv from
throwing away all the Snn/Knn information that Debian Developers
have created over the years. Then we'll attempt to reset the
Snn/Knn to those sane values.
My first thought was a loop over "update-rc.d $script defaults" but
that no longer seems to work. Still looking for a clean remedy.
Hopefully there's a nice on-off switch in there somewhere. I'm
mostly working on some other projects now but I hope to be able to
work on this full-time in a few days.
