[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] bootclean merged into mountall-bootclean

Hi, while talking about the init scripts dependencies in the 
#pkg-sysvinit IRC channel, the issue about the absence of LSB headers in 
the bootclean script was raised. It seems that this script is only run 
in the mountall-bootclean and should preferently not be called directly. 
So the questions are:
+why is it still in /etc/init.d?
+could it be merged with mountall-bootclean or would it be better to put 
in another directory like /lib/init/ ?

Besides, as bootclean should be run before bootmisc.sh, I guess there 
should be a Should-Start: mountall-bootclean as part of the LSB information.

BTW, I'm working for Debian as part of the google summer of code in the 
project to improve the boot process <URL: 
http://initscripts-ng.alioth.debian.org/soc2006-bootsystem>. For this 
project we use mostly the initscripts-ng-devel mailing list and the IRC 
#pkg-sysvinit.

cheers,

Carlos Villegas
