TBH, I don't think there's all that much scope for **usefully** using lots of 
runlevels.

To start with, (near enough) every package comes with a control script for rc 
to use - and which contains comments to signal to the management scripts what 
runlevels the daemon in intended to run in. So you'd have to edit all of those 
so that update-rc can do it's job easily. And of course, once you do that then 
you get into all the problems that come with editing package supplied files- 
having to choose between your own or the (possibly updated) package supplied 
one, and re-applying changes if you choose to use the updated package supplied 
file.

And then there is the issue that if you want different combinations of daemons 
running, then you need to list all those that need to run in each combination. 
Unless you only need a small number of combinations (in which case the spare 
ones of 3,4,5 are likely to suffice) then it's likely to turn into quite a PITA.
