Dear Debian maintainer,
On Thursday, January 17, 2008, I notified you of the beginning of a review
process
concerning debconf templates for insserv.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.
Please review the suggested changes are suggested, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.
Please try to avoid uploading insserv with these changes right now.
The second phase of this process will begin on Friday, February 08, 2008, when
I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.
The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.
Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.
Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.
The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Friday, February 29, 2008. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or
changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.
Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.
Around Saturday, March 01, 2008, I will contact you again and will send a final
patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).
Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

-_Description: Enable (or keep enabled) dependency based boot sequence?
- Enabling this will reorder all the scripts in /etc/rc*.d/ using the
- dependency information provided in each script. If such information
- is missing, default dependency info will be used. It will also
- change all S* symlinks in rc0.d/ and rc6.d/ to K* symlinks, to make
- sure the way they are used (with 'stop' argument) matches their
- names. The change will only be done after it is verified that it is
- safe to convert. Disabling it when enabled will try to revert the
- change.
- .
- WARNING: It is very hard to revert from dependency based boot
- sequencing to the non-dependency based boot sequencing.
- Reinstallation might be required.
+_Description: Enable (or keep enabled) the dependency-based boot sequence?
+ If you choose to enable the dependency-based boot sequence the
+ scripts in /etc/rc*.d/ will be reordered using dependency information
+ provided by LSB comment headers (or defaults where these are not
+ present). All S* symlinks in rc0.d/ and rc6.d/ will be turned into K*
+ symlinks, to make sure the way they are used (with the argument 'stop')
+ matches their names. The change will only be done after it is
+ verified that it is safe to convert. Disabling it when enabled will
+ try to revert the change.
.
- This is an experimental feature, and is at the moment only intended
- for testing of insserv and the LSB style dependecy information in
- init.d scripts.
-
+ Please note that this feature is experimental. Attempting to revert
+ from dependency-based boot sequencing is not guaranteed to be safe,
+ and may require the reinstallation of the system.
