[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#451751: resolvconf: Please add LSB formatted dependency info in init.d script

Package:  resolvconf
Version:  1.37

To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start
boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of
the various boot scripts.  The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d
header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to
the init.d script would make it possible for me to use this
information to check the current sequence and to speed up the debian
boot.

<URL:http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html>
documents the LSB header format.  Some debian notes are available from
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>.

Here is a patch to document the dependencies.  I hope this is correct.
