Actually, this is a mistake. The provides line in individual scripts
should never use the the virtual facility names. The virtual
facilities are handled outside the init.d scripts. For insserv, it is
specified in /etc/insserv.conf.

Yes, this is fine. Though the current check-initd-order script do not
handle scripts providing more than one facility..
Happy hacking,
