Test it and see how it goes. 

Besides, there is more information on "insserv" here:

http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

And more specifically the FAQ section:

***
Is it possible to specify that a given script should start before another 
script?

There is no such standard-defined header, but there is a proposed 
extention implemented in the insserv package (since version 1.09.0-8). 
Use the X-Start-Before and X-Stop-After headers proposed by SuSe.
