This has been done upstream and is now in the latest beta release [1]. Something I'm curious about is: what happens if /var is not mounted when startpar runs? Let's say /var is on another disk, or mounted over NFS. What then? I'm guessing some people are using a setup where /var is not on the root file system, so what kind of fallback is in place to make sure insserv and startpar work when their files are stored under /var instead of /etc?
Another bug report against insserv suggested we use /lib/insserv/ instead of /var/lib/insserv/. Maybe we should switch the location before the next stable release, since I'm pretty sure /lib needs to be part of the root filesystem. - Jesse 1 - http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/sysvinit-devel/2019-05/msg00002.html
