I though I was either crazy, or you were whispering sweet nothings in my ear, 
because on my boxen sendsigs was still at sequence number 20. Then I found 
this in /usr/share/doc/initscripts/changelog.Debian.gz:

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-35) unstable; urgency=medium
<snip>
  * Undo use of fuser to kill processes in umountnfs before unmounting
    partitions, as it will kill init and /etc/init.d/rc during
    shutdown if root is on NFS or tmpfs file systems are bind-mounted
    into chroots.  Use sendsigs and move it before umountnfs, and thus
    reopen bugs #258420, #367944.  (Closes: #392861)
