+
+<p>Since this evening, with the upload of sysvinit version 2.87dsf-2,
+and the upload of insserv version 1.12.0-10 yesterday, Debian unstable
+have been migrated to using dependency based boot sequencing. This
+conclude work me and others have been doing for the last three days.
+It feels great to see this finally part of the default Debian
+installation. Now we just need to weed out the last few problems that
+are bound to show up, to get everything ready for Squeeze.</p>
+
+<p>The next step is migrating /sbin/init from sysvinit to upstart, and
+fixing the more fundamental problem of handing the event based
+non-predictable kernel in the early boot.</p>
