On boot into single-user mode the system never leaves runlevel S.
The way we tend to think of runlevels in Debian is:
S: Transient mode for one-time-only system initialization
1: Single-user mode -- no services running
2-5: Multi-user modes
However, historically the runlevels seem to have been conceived this way:
S: Initial, single-user mode
1: Transient mode for one-time-only return to single-user mode
2-5: Multi-user modes
I prefer to think of things in the Debian way, because the runlevel
directory rc1.d is much more analogous to rc[2-5].d than it is to rcS.d.
However, it remains a fact that when booting into single-user mode and
when switching to single-user mode via runlevel 1, the end result is
that the system is in runlevel "S".
