I've often tought about *that* part.  I think that it would be better
if the individual rc scripts would provide *shell functions* to 
start, stop, etc.  It would also provide a declaration section that would
define which things the package *requires*.  You could then tsort the
total list of dependencies (from an outer *control* script) and execute
the appropriate functions in the required order.

I *hate* the stupid ``run-levels'' symlink stuff.
