Yes.  The dependency on $remote_fs and $syslog ensure that the scripts
start late enough in the boot, and the provides change avoid the
duplicate provides problem.

I believe all packages using syslog should start after syslog.
Increased concurrency is less important than predictability. :)

I do not really understand the problem you try to explain here, so I
am unsure what to propose.

It is not very urgent, but I would not wait more than 1-2 weeks before
doing a new upload to fix the init.d headers. :)
