This is an accident due to Debian development being uncoordinated,
they are not supposed to exist (especially the sound devices FFS!).

I am. S01glibc.sh is a special case which "needs" to be run before
everything (but is broken because on sparc it relies on /proc to be
mounted), S02mountkernfs.sh is a dependency for udev and S02hostname.sh
I do not know why should be run before udev is started.

As I explained procps should be run after udev, readahead looks like
another special case which likes to be run before everything.
