19 Nope, that's an error. I think I have a patch that addresses that.
20 I've also noticed that there is a lot of stuff in runscript.sh that doesn't
21 need to be there anymore as rc now handles more of the ordering and
22 dependency.

24 Leaving runscript.sh with just what it "needs" means it's a whole load
25 lighter :)
