Comment 12 for bug 453365

Even if it is desirable to convert openafs-client to upstart right now, forcing dkms to load after rc would force openafs-client to load after rc. This will be a problem for other services that depend on openafs, such as apache2 installations with docroot in /afs.

dkms provides kernel modules, and userspace services always depends on kernel modules being available, never the other way around, so delaying dkms toward the very end of the boot process seems strange anyway.

In short, I see many advantages to loading dkms before legacy SysV services, and no advantages to loading it after. The upstart transition can happen either way. Is there something I missed?

Perhaps we should try to get feedback from an Upstart developer?
