Yes, I looked at that package before making the statement. They divert
update-rc.d and use their own hacked copy which does the translation to
a monolithic file.
update-rc.d's argument is the number which signifies the order in which
the script should be run on bootup. That's SysV init style.
Maybe you should read some of the links I posted as to why having a
meaningless number is not the best way?

Could you please explain these statements?
Maybe I'm just too clueless to figure it out, but I don't consider that
since a script can be diverted that it should be considered generic.
