Package: file-rc
Version: 0.8.7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

The script /etc/init.d/rc does not use the sort field of
/etc/runlevel.conf to select the order of execution of the init.d
scripts. The conversion script does sort the file in correct order but
if the user twiddles with it things may get run in incorrect order (e.g.
put networking at the end and see how many daemons fail to start).

All you have to do is replace "xxx < $configfile" with
"sort $configfile | xxx". Actually, you can't since sort is in /usr/bin,
you'll have to do a sort with bash functions.
