Just to note, baselayout-1 is a little wierd like that as in it's not
exactly quiet if init script dependencies need to be updated.

Also, if the rev-bump relies on a new init script then you're SOL as
it's not etc-updated.

So although what Mike posted is correct, there's also a good chance It
Just Won't Work (TM)

So that's another argument for no.

Thanks
