No problem. Note that you do still need the numbers, AFAICT, for backward compatibility, and for systems which aren't using dependency-based booting. However, this is the default on Debian since quite some time now, so I'm not sure to what extent the numerical ordering will have bitrotted in the absence of testing. Hopefully it will go away entirely at some point given that all modern init systems are using some form of dependencies rather than static ordering. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
