Read /etc/init.d/rc... the corner cases are really confusing, you WILL have
to read the code to know what would happen. And file-rc may act differently
from sysv-rc on corner cases, I should add (due to either implementation
differencies, bugs in sysv-rc or file-rc, or phase of the moon).

File a wishlist bug on file-rc requesting that it optimizes the runlevel
changes like sysv-rc does, I guess...
