Nononononono! You _need_ to have the following design, it is perfect!
Runlevel Function Programs to run
0 halt none
1 single user sulogin
2 ogg vorbis jukebox gdm + xmms
3 multiuser in text mode nethack
4 multiuser in graphical mode kdm
5 network enabled workstation pppd + ssh
If only Debian would do things like this, life would be *so* much
easier.

Kidding aside, there is no way to partition use of runlevels that will
work for all people. If Debian were to set up some sort of policy for
them, it would make it harder for the sysadmins to use runlevels the way
they want to. That is why Debian has not declared meanings for
runlevels: it would be a bad idea.
I seem to recall several runlevel schemes having been suggested
throughout the years. It's not a new idea, and generally the consensus
among Debian developers seems to have been in favor of the current
scheme.
