I suspect it depends, but packages failing to define if the service
should be enabled or disabled in runlevel 1-5 are most likely broken.
Most (all?) packages should stop in runlevel 1 and start in runlevels
2,3,4 and 5.  Note that rcS.d/ is not really a runlevel, and script
only executed there are very special.  The only ones I know about that
start daemons from rcS.d/ is portmap, and it also stop in runlevel 1
and start in runlevels 2-5 and sto make the daemon start again if it
was stopped in runlevel 1.

Runlevels 0 and 6 are also spesial, in that no-one should be using
invoke-rc.d during shutdown, and thus lacking stop symlinks there do
not represent a problem as far as I know it.

Happy hacking,
