Thanks for the explanation! I had naively assumed that the rc script
does a straightforward mapping of K[0-9][0-9]* scripts to stop actions
and likewise for S[0-9][0-9]* scripts and start actions, but I now see
that init scripts are called with the stop action in runlevels 0 and 6
regardless of which prefix they have. BTW, it seems as if this
sysv 'curiosity' is consistent with what file-rc does, as well.
My apologies for filing what has turned out to be a non-bug.
Thanks,
Brian
