   5 <p>Since this evening, with the upload of sysvinit version 2.87dsf-2,
   6 and the upload of insserv version 1.12.0-10 yesterday, Debian unstable
   7 have been migrated to using dependency based boot sequencing.  This
   8 conclude work me and others have been doing for the last three days.
   9 It feels great to see this finally part of the default Debian
  10 installation.  Now we just need to weed out the last few problems that
  11 are bound to show up, to get everything ready for Squeeze.</p>

  13 <p>The next step is migrating /sbin/init from sysvinit to upstart, and
  14 fixing the more fundamental problem of handing the event based
  15 non-predictable kernel in the early boot.</p>
