>From /usr/doc/debian-policy/policy.text:

     When `init' changes runlevel first the targets of the links whose
     names starting with a `K' are executed, each with the single argument
     `stop', followed by the scripts prefixed with an `S', each with the
     single argument `start'.  The `K' links are responsible for killing
     services and the `S' link for starting services upon entering the
     runlevel.

Either debian-policy or the symlinks in /etc/rc0.d/ and /etc/rc6.d/ need
to be changed.
