On my Debian woody, init(8) says:

  and  runlevel 1 is used to get the system down into single
  user mode. Runlevel S is  not  really  meant  to  be  used
  directly,  but more for the scripts that are executed when
  entering runlevel 1. For more information on this, see the
  manpages for shutdown(8) and inittab(5).

Although I guess that using it is harmless.
