Thankyou Mr Bug Control Robot

The "sNN kNN" syntax still appears in the -h output of update-rc.d,
even though the manpage was updated as per the diff posted to this
bug.

I've just come across a wiki entry that had "s99 k04" in the
update-rc.d invocation instructions, and when that failed I
stared at the -h output for a fair few minutes before trying it
without the s and k.

So I feel it is still misleading.

Maybe rather than changing the -h output, make the code accept the s and
k? This could be as simple as adding the following two lines at line 155
of update-rc.d:

        $start =~ s/^s//;
        $stop =~ s/^[sk]//;

(Not tested, mind you. But it looks right to me.)
