I've looked into what is on my Lenny and see '/etc/init.d/networking' and '/etc/init.d/network-manager', but no '/etc/init.d/network'. Was there once an '/etc/init.d/network'? I don't remember. Also, about the reason for the existence of 'invoke-rc.d'? It appears from my reading of man invoke-rc.d that this interface is a place where special processing can be added to Debian packages that need to manipulate an init script, and that it should be OK for a single user/self-admin to invoke the scripts directly (using sudo or su, of course).
