I think this is not a problem, because if we are going to change the way 
Debian is started, we can change the order of scripts, too. So if an 
user would try something like bogoserver, we can change /etc/init.d/rcS 
and let it load everything needed by bogoserver at first, then load 
bogoserver, then go on with parallelized boot.

However bogoserver doesn't need disk space. It needs just a way to 
exchange messages with other processes, like loopback network interface 
or "unix" sockets (or other ways if you let me know how use them). In 
the first version disk space is used to write on a file the port used 
and the pid of the child process (but it write it also on standard 
output). However, if we reserve a port to bogoserver, we don't need it.
