The suggestion seems to be that scripts at the same sequence number
should be started in lexicographical order and stopped in anti-
lexicographical order.

S20bar
S20foo

While this might have made sense if it had been stipulated from the
start, sysv-rc doesn't currently work this way (it always does things
in lexicographical order) and making a change now might be more
trouble than it is worth. Making a change before for sarge is out of
the question.
I think that the relevant xen package should employ different sequence
numbers in order to enforce a sane ordering of stopping and starting.
