Couldn't that extra functionality be split up in an extra init script? so that one truly becomes an rcS script while the other, the one starting the daemon, is started during rcS and rc2-5. On a quick glance to the init script it doesn't look that difficult, and as for the rest it is similar to the fact that udev is already being started during the initrd and resumed later, right?
