This is obvious.

This is obvious for me after lecture of particular makefiles and after 
comparation of scriptc before and after Your changes.

I think, moving dependencies from insserv to explicite declarations in 
Makefile'a is good idea. It gives stability and there is no wait for insserv 
every build, so it is faster. Theoretically we can decide to build particular 
package and all it dependencies but not more. But branch experimental builds 
are harder.

Look. I try to compile Asterisk. It builds. I'm now testing it. But Asterisk 
needs some number of other packages, libraries and drivers, i.e. dahdi, OSP, 
freetds, doxygen, jack, libogg, libpri, libresample, libvorbis, lua, newt, 
portaudio, radiusclient-ng, slang, spandsp, speex, sqlite2 (damn), stunner, 
unixODBC, etc. So I wrote scripts for all it. I hope, my work will be inserted 
into official D-L.

And for now before experimental build I'm copying my scripts into proper 
directories and all rest do insserv. Dependencies was in insserv headers in 
scripts.

Now I need every time I'm doing experimental build, insert my package names 
into rules in Makefile's. Manually it is horrible, so I need to do it from script.

And now I have headache, how to write script 
InsertInto(Phase,Group,Before,Package)

If You have ready function like this, please for it.

But internal logic of Your script probably not need function like InsertInto. 
You start from total set of scripts. I need only add some positions into 
dependency hierarchy. But maybe?
