This doesn't need to be done for Debian packages at all (LSB init script
dependencies that interact with vendor scripts can all be trivially
satisfied by doing all the vendor scripts first), and the dependencies
for the LSB scripts can be resolved at package install time without major
difficulty. Which is to say, this could be supported without changes to
sysvinit or file-rc [0], without major difficulty.

[0] Something like:
/etc/rc2.d/
S99zz-LSB-01-oracle
S99zz-LSB-02-boa
for instance.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
