Description-en: boot sequence organizer using LSB init.d script dependency information
The insserv program is used by the standard SysV-based init system. It
updates the order of symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ based on dependencies
specified by LSB headers in the init.d scripts themselves.
.
These declared relations between scripts make it possible to optimize
the boot sequence for the currently installed set of packages, while
detecting and rejecting dependency loops.
.
Using insserv incorrectly can result in an unbootable system.
