Not really. There is nothing to indicate that how you
fashioned your run levels would make sense for, say, me. People whoi
really want tailored run-levels often have very definite ideas about
how these run-levels would be tailored; it is unlikely that a
predefined solution designed by committee in Debian would suit their
needs, and they would have to roll their own, anyway, and a
predefined solution would just get in their way.
_Why_ did you not create you own run level schema, BTW, if you
have indeed needed them so often? (I haven't felt that itch yet, or I
would have; creating differentiated run levels is not exactly rocket
science).
