Correct.

Yes, looks right to me.

The depends on what version or versions you are writing to. 

InitscriptsOrder is now deprecated, and hasn't been necessary for some
time. It's implicit in the rc7.d symlink which you create and include in
the RPM. In earlier versions those symlinks were created during
post-install and post-upgrade, so the property was needed. Since
"e-smith-service" was written, we no longer need to add and delete the
symlinks as services are enabled and disabled, so that the dynamic link
creation/deletion is no longer required.
