There were SXXxxxx scripts in runlevels 0 and 6 that looked at $1? What
are these SXXxxx scripts doing (I can't see why they'd be in any extraneous
package), and why hasn't anyone filed bugs against them?
The entire runlevel thing should be completely arbitrary, there should
be nothing special about runlevels 0 or 6 (Debian defaults aside).
Let's fix the packages instead of breaking the arbitration.
