This is a quirk in the sysvinit system. It is explained in
/usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz, and in Debian policy
Section 10.3. From policy 10.3.1:
The two runlevels 0 (halt) and 6 (reboot) are slightly different. In
these runlevels, the links with an `S' prefix are still called after
those with a `K' prefix, but they too are called with the single
argument `stop'.
Regards,
Bob
