Package:  module-init-tools
Version:  3.12~pre2-1
Severity: grave

Usertags: incorrect-dependencies

The latest upload of module-init-tools introduced a dependency loop in
the init.d scripts when installed together with with
multipath-tools-boot.  I discovered this with my archive wide
consistency check.  The results from this check is available from
<URL: http://lintian.debian.org/~pere/ >.

Please undo the change, or at least coordinate it with the maintainer
of multipath-tools-boot if module-init-tools should run after mountall
and mountoverflowtmp during boot or before umountfs during shutdown
(the packages defined as $local_fs).

I realise that this change was done to get rid of a lintian warning,
but in this case the lintian warning is not relevant (it is relevant
for most packages, but not those starting in rcS.d/ before
mountall. :)

This patch would solve the issue, making sure module-init-tools can
start before multipath-tools-boot which is a dependency of $local_fs.
