This is now PR 174.

Also, I tested the Debian packages in various way and all most of my
fixes are now commited.

These both relate to the init.d scripts,

AFAIK Debian is basically the only user of the init.d scripts, so you

I will look at this next, I intend to make ibacm socket activatable,
which will take care of lots of ordering problems. verbs hot-plug (now
merged) and eventually rdma_cm hot plug should fix the rest.
