I brought this up in bug #601054 as well, but thought I'd mention it
here since this seems to be the same issue. Upstream we're experimenting
with using /var/lib/insserv/ as the location for storing boot-time
dependency data. However, I'm not sure we can rely on /var being mounted
when startpar runs. Which makes me this this bug, which requests the
data be placed under /lib/insserv/ might be the better approach.
Thoughts on this? I'm not sure it's safe to put boot-time configuration
data under /var, but I'm not sure if it's a practical concern or just a
theoretical one.
