If Debian handling of daemons has changed, then the change is debian
specific, it doesn´t make it a bug for all distributions.

Last I checked if I run:

apt-get install bind9 -> bind9 will start automatically. Or for that
matter also apache2 or....

The init scripts we deliver are "as generic as possible", it doesn´t
mean that they fit everything everywhere.

And then again, expressing an order is correct. If "Required-Start"
behavior in Debian is different than in other distro (I can speak for
Fedora/RHEL here), then clearly there needs to be some distro specific
"tuning".
