I have not invested much time to implement that extension, as it would have to be first specified in the update-rc.d API, then implemented by sysv-rc and file-rc. As I said, it is possible to get the same behavior by replacing 'default' with something else, so I am not sure if it is better to insert 'multiuser' instead of 'start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 1 .'. It is definitely easier and shorter, but as I said it is also not quite optimal using 20 as the stop sequence, so I am not sure it is a feature to copy into Debian. I've instead spent my time working on the dependency based boot sequencing system, because I believe it solve this and other problems in a more elegant way. It allow us to specify per script where in the boot and shutdown sequence it should run, and which runlevel it should run in. It is now working fairly well, as documented on <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot >. > I don't see documentation about Should-Stop there. Right. Sorry. See the parent page, <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts >. And I ment to say Default-Stop, not Should-stop. What about changing the default values for dh_installinit for a future debhelper compatibility layer, to use 'start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 1 .' instead of 'default' when calling update-rc.d?
