       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]

In the descriptions above, it looks like NN has to be substituted in all
cases, but has the following usability problems:

1. in the case when one is not using the same number to start and stop a
service, XX and YY should be used, since putting sNN and kNN missleads
to think that NN must be the same in both start and stop.

2. in both cases, it looks like an "s" and a "k" must be used,
prepending the NN's (and/or -start and -stop postponed to the NN's).

3. with the above descriptions, looks like they are not consistent.

Please, consider modifying the descriptions to something like:

update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | <start XX> <stop YY>]

or

update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | XX YY]

Where XX is the start NN and YY is the stop NN.

Changes: 
 sysvinit (2.86.ds1-40) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
   * Rewrite libata shutdown handling to use patch from
     Werner Fink at SuSe to handle each disk individually and
     automatically instead of guessing in the init.d script how
     to handle the collectively (Closes: #426224).  This removes
     the HDDOWN default/halt variable.
   * Improve usage information in update-rc.d by using the same
     notation as the one used in the manual page (Closes: #268713)
   * Implement noswap kernel boot option to stop automatic
     swap activation at boot time (Closes: #388525).  Based on patch
     from Michael Prokop.
   * Rewrite init.d/rc to use shell features instead of calling sed
     (Closes #406393).  Patch from Ivan Baldo.
   * Fix typo in update-rc.d example code (Closes: #433378).
   * Fix minor typo in rc*.d/README files (Closes: #452384).
   * Make sure init.d/rc do not complain because the new progress bar
     API is unavailable (Closes: #457544).
   * New patch 26_last_ipv6 from Fedora to recognize more IPv6
     addresses.
   * Extend the 68_init_quiet patch based on patch from Fedora to also
     suppress the "Switching to runlevel" message.  This patch is
     currently disabled because the 'quiet' flag is removed by the
     kernel when init is called.
   * New patch 69_init_waiting from Fedora to make sure the init
     waiting status is preserved across re-exec.
   * New patch 41_utmp_64bit from Fedora to avoid writing past the
     utmp.ut_tv struct on 64 bit architectures.
   * New patch 64_init_init_reexec_env from Fedora to fix typo.  Now
     passes environment on to the new process when re-exec is used.
