There are a lot of strings that aren't legal package names that
follow all legal package names in listings.

For example ~ is not a legal package name and sort after any valid
name (Policy 2.3.1) with C locale.

If you really want to draft a policy, mandate that run-parts files
are named [0-9][0-9]$pkg or something similar.
