Hrm.  Maybe this is a problem with update-rc.d.  But I don't know.

update-rc.d defaults bar creates rc2.d/S20bar and rc6.d/K20bar, and
update-rc.d defaults foo creates rc2.d/S20foo and rc6.d/K20foo.  During
start, bar is started before foo, which is what is expected.  However, during
shutdown, bar is stopped *before* foo, instead of the other way around.

Yes, one can change the priority of one of the scripts.  But that is a lot
more overhead.

I'm cc'ing devel, as this could be a more general problem, worthy of a broader
fix.
