No, as I said there's not enough space in K90-K99. But the other option
is not too bad - we could indeed extend the runlevels to allow numbers
from 100-999 as well, which would run after 0-99. It would not be strictly
alphabetically anymore though. Or maybe allow hex numbers? KA0 - KAF or
so.. that would keep the alphabetical order in tact.

The only package that uses something like that is mdutils, should be
easy enough to fix.
Maybe in Debian 2.1
