I've never seen update-rc.d, but if you're asking me if I can write a
separate program that takes a list of services, each with their
"provides" and their list of "requires", into the numbers you need for
ordering those service, absolutely I can write that program. You and
Subsentient just need to give me the specification of the format of the
service/provides/requires{,requires{,requires{...}}}, and I can write
the program that turns that into numbers.

Yes. You should go onto Freenode's #epoch and talk to Subsentient. I
believe that one of his design manifesto principles is that you edit
this stuff, no GUI. But I'm pretty sure that as of a couple versions
ago, Epoch can deal with multiple config files.
