No problem.  Note that you do still need the numbers, AFAICT,
for backward compatibility, and for systems which aren't using
dependency-based booting.  However, this is the default on
Debian since quite some time now, so I'm not sure to what
extent the numerical ordering will have bitrotted in the
absence of testing.  Hopefully it will go away entirely at
some point given that all modern init systems are using some
form of dependencies rather than static ordering.
