First hotspots tried (SoC 2006)
Debian sid was installed and the installation log can be found here. There is a link to a list of the packages installed with the distribution update from etch and the resulting init scripts. Besides, bootcharts and other resources will be available in this section.
Using the same sid installation, from the hotspots yesterday I tried to load the hwclock on the background with a 2 seconds reduction in the boot time. The bootcharts and scripts are availabe here as well.
Finally, depmod is not used any more in sid's module-init-tools and this is one of the hotspots. This was removed as a result from a discussion started by Margarita Manterola in debian-devel. Just by adding it again from an old script, the 2 second reduction from hwclock was lost.
