Is there some reason not to follow the SysV lead, and go for the Start/Kill mechanism using [SK][0-9][0-9].name ? Personally, I'd prefer 3 digits instead of 2, but that's just a nit. The issue of having a clean way for independent packages to get access to Start and Kill services is significant. There are times I think this whole issue should be handled with "make" and well-known labels instead of relying on the (dys)lexicographic order of files in a subdir. If a package needs NFS-mounted disks up before running, it should simply be able to specify this requirement instead of requiring somebody to check that this requirement is met, especially since this is most likely to bite people when an OS is upgraded.
