  Description     : radical and really cool replacement for /sbin/init - and initscripts!

(Include the long description here.)

Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel
execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling
and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from
sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit
experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process
to set up.
