5 It's not always a tree. It is a graph. A package can have multiple
6 dependencies.
7 I think it could be possible to execute dependecies in parallel (the
8 entire runlevel seen like
9 a script with the whole directory as a dependency) and waiting for
10 completion. Once a script is running
11 other invocations will be queued.
12 Of course this a simplistic view... :-) (reverse stoping, error
13 handling,.... )
