I believe it might make sense to change the default, if it only take effect for a new debhelper compat value. Every maintainer is supposed to check the effects of upgrading the compat value, and we could thus expect them to check if their init.d script need to run in runlevel 0 and 6. If they need to stop in runlevel 0 and 6, they can always use 'start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 0 1 6.'. A new keyword might be a good option too. multiuser is already taken and I guess it is expected to mean 'start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 1 .', so we would want to come up with another one. Perhaps 'normal', as in 'update-rc.d scriptname normal', to mean 'start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 1 .'?
