I'm back on 4.x, so I don't have this man page...  However, why not use
S###name.sh, and let the shell wildcard order them for you?  It's simple,
effective, and matches what almost everybody else does, which makes it easier
to manage.  

Dependencies are handled by having a standard on what number to choose; i.e.
S1xx = Adding libraries to ldpath or essential system daemons, S2xx =
Non-essential daemons with no dependencies, S3xx = Non-essential daemons with
dependencies, etc.... Someone would be the maintaner of the numbers, and give
everybody their unique number.  It's not perfect, but is relatively easy to
manage.
