According to LSBInitScripts page[1], there is a definition of Should-Start being weak dependence along with a recommendation to be used with virtual facility names (e.g. $all). Required-Start states that a facility *must* be available. $all only means for start ordering, which is a weak dependence. Therefore using Should-Start instead of Required-Start is more logical. > Is OpenRC understanding it differently? What problem will OpenRC > users experience? In OpenRC we developped a method globbing /etc/init.d/* to construct $all, which results in /etc/init.d/README to be pulled in. A strong dependence will fail if README is not a init script, while a weak one will not. Considering the logical arguments above, we think the most straightforward fix would be replacing "Required-Start: $all" with "Should-Start: $all".
