Description:
In the /etc/inittab config file we have perfectly working examples for how to start a respawning login manager for nearly every login manager available:

# Example lines for starting a login manager
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null

The only login-manager, of the ones which are mostly used, which is missing as an example is entrance. Couldn't we just add it:
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/entranced -nodaemon &> /dev/null

Additional info:
* Package: initscripts


Steps to reproduce:
grep entranced /etc/inittab ;)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Examples are examples. There are enough there that people should "get it". This is too much coddling.
