Would running the scripts in parallel solve you problem? This is possible with the current sysvinit package in etch and sid. Look for CONCURRENCY in /etc/init.d/rc to figure out how. Also, you could make sure the sshd init.d script include correct dependency information in LSB format, <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>. Next, you can use insserv to reorder all the scripts to make sure the scripts are started in dependency order. This is a bit higher risk at the moment, as the runlevels 1 and 6 are not entirely correctly documented yet, but work fine for the other runlevels.
