Well, that seems... suboptimal. :) And something of a barrier to adoption.
What would be a better heuristic? Even running these scripts last instead
of first would seem better. Would it make sense to keep track of the
sysvinit number for each script, and for each script without dependency
information, treat /all/ lower-numbered scripts as dependencies?
