Making it actually work and not just sit there and ignore input. ^o^

For example another init script in Debian testing marked interactive
is apache2, for those really paranoid people who have passwords on
their SSL keys. ^.^

See first URL, it being LSB pretty much every distro.

I don't think it works on systems with dependency based boot w/o that
X-Interactive line. And I think it hangs in the boot process before sshd is
started (though I really haven't tested and thought of that), certainly
before another console screen and logins are available.

No problem, I thought it might have caught your eyes when first doing that
LSB header or when it was reported and fixed in Debian.

See above, I was fully expecting it to be there and had no time for RC
testing. Oh well, hopefully people will read this until the next release.
