I'm not sure we want to have a config option for each and every init
script. Especially since with systemd, you have a unit file rather than
an init script, so we would have to handle this as well.

I think having a default sane numbering is good enough, since we allow
the users to customize whatever they want using post-build scripts.

Note that I'm not saying the current numbering is perfect, it could be
clarified, with a bit documentation saying "from number X to Y, it's
basic services that are not network dependent", "from Y to Z, it's this
type of services, etc.". I'm just talking about the general approach of
just having a default numbering, and leaving the rest of the
customization to post-build scripts.

Best regards,

Thomas
