Few Debian Upgrades/Changes Conti....

Continuing from my previous updates in Debian.
Prior to Debian 6.0 we used update-rc to register any service and could provide the priority of start and kill init scripts. This priority would put the sequence for your script. But with the entry of 'insserv' this setting of seems to have been removed and with 'required_stop' and 'required_start' this has to be achieved. This has been introduced probably to achieve the parallel boot process in Debian.
So, Rather than using numbers, explicitly state which services you need, and it will end up in the correct order.
