Well, we might end up inheriting the one from LSB if Debian decides to try to follow as much as possible of it, but it's not like we need to get concerned with implementing it yet. What we must ensure is that Debian will work right with whatever runlevel scheme the local administrator comes up with and sets the system up with. After this is done, implementing whatever runlevel policy we want is a simple matter of a mass change of the update-rc.d invocations in a great deal of packages ;-) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
