That hasn't been true for Debian for many years (since squeeze, IIRC).
Presumably the same is true for other Linux distros that have LSB
headers in their init scripts.  From /etc/init.d/README:

| All init.d scripts are expected to have a LSB style header documenting
| dependencies and default runlevel settings.  The header look like this
| (not all fields are required):
| 
| ### BEGIN INIT INFO
| [...]
| ### END INIT INFO
| 
| More information on the format is available from insserv(8).  This
| information is used to dynamicaly assign sequence numbers to the
| boot scripts and to run the scripts in parallel during the boot.

Note the last line.
