It's possible that I didn't write that line -- a lot of the early packaging
work was done by Jamie Wilkinson, and the only stuff I changed was stuff
that needed to be changed for some reason.

On the other hand, I may have written it and just have no recollection of
it.  It doesn't "feel" like me, though -- I'm such a lazy bugger I never
type more than I have to.  <grin>

Looking at what's started at 20 on my local system, I can't see anything
that Puppet explicitly depends on, so if it's causing anyone any hassle
where it is, I'd say pull it and start it at 20.

Bring on dependency-based init systems!
