[lsb-discuss] boot facility dependencies

Hello!

I'm attempting to make an LSB-conforming init script for the Xprint 
project: http://xprint.mozdev.org/
The bug for the init script modification is: 
http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3216

One problem I found is that the Xprint service should be started after 
any print spooler, whether it is CUPS, LPD or anything else. Is there a 
way to specify this with the init script comments? As I understand it, 
it seems there isn't. That's what the proposed Should-Start and 
Should-Stop keywords should be for, right?

So, until the LSB adopts these, should I use SuSE's 
X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start and X-UnitedLinux-Should-Stop? How do other 
distributions (and other software packages) handle this?

BTW, I have an unrelated question: when looking for info on this, I 
found a message 
(http://freestandards.org/pipermail/lsb-discuss/2003-May/001574.html) on 
this list from Tobias Burnus, where he talks about bugs (e.g. "[bug 
677752] Should-Start/Should-Stop"). Is there a Bugzilla for the LSB 
somewhere? Where?

Thanks for any info!
