Any hope of getting the answers to these questions from the package
maintainer?

Here is a draft header, based on my guesswork, that it should start
after the syslog collector is active, and before the display managers.

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          nvidia-glx
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# X-Start-Before:    $x-display-manager xdm kdm gdm sdm wdm nodm ldm
# X-Stop-After:      $x-display-manager xdm kdm gdm sdm wdm nodm ldm
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: NVidia X driver initialization
# Description:       Load kernel drivers needed for the NVidia video cards
### END INIT INFO

The $x-display-manager virtual facility is not handled by all display
managers yet, so I list them all individually too to make sure the
script is inserted before the scripts not yet providing the
$x-display-manager facility.

Happy hacking,
