I second this, and propose that the section should be reworded as

3.3.4. Boot-time initialisation

There used to be another directory, `/etc/rc.boot', which
contained scripts which were run once per machine boot. This has
been deprecated in favour of links from /etc/rcS.d to files in
/etc/init.d as described in section 3.3.1. No packages may place
files in /etc/rc.boot.
There needs to be something about the fact that rcS scripts matching the pattern *.sh are sourced by /etc/init.d/rcS; and should not necessarily be required to support all of the standard arguments.
