Hrm, no deps on /usr may be a bit of an issue with my patch; awk (on
Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) is installed in /usr/bin/.

Sigh.

Granted, it's only for reloading profiles, which shouldn't typically
occur in an early boot situation where /usr wouldn't be mounted. And
'sort' is also a /usr/bin/ utility, which already exists in the script.

Any other comments on the patch(es)?
