Eh, are you claiming that policy mention sourcing of .sh scripts to
make sure those scripts are not run in paralell?  It does not sounds
reasonable to me, as the parallel booting feature have never been
tried before in Debian.  Or are you trying to say something else, like
we should change the name of the init.d scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ to
allow parallelization?

I suspect this part of policy was written to document the current
implementation, without considering which part of the implementation
should be part of the policy and which part was better left
unspecified for future improvements.  Am I wrong?
