Sorry, but this is a very strange argumentation and hard to follow. Shouldn't the reason for something to happen in runlevel S be functional rather than non-functional? Maintainability, useability, and concurrency are all pure non-functional properties. The functional reason for something belonging to runlevel S is hardware setup and configuration, and initial system setup. This is why things like hwclock, hdparm, ifupdown, keyboard-setup, etc., as well as mount* reside there. > For the issue reported, adding a header 'should-start: cpufrequtils' > to sysfsutils will make sure it is always started after cpufrequtils, > if both packages are installed.
