I want to make sure xend stops after corosync etc so that the cluster can take care of migrating the domains off of the machine when it reboots, but I don't want to modify the init.d files directly in case they get overwritten on an upgrade.

I like debian. It's a release critical bug to overwrite things in /etc/ without asking the admin for permission. And I wouldn't be surprised if conffile handling in the dh_ helper scripts automates this so it can't easily be screwed up by careless maintainers. Enterprise frickin' software. fsck you, deadrat!

Is there a place I can put this information to make sure the scripts get processed in the right order without actually changing the scripts themselves?

I doubt it. The standard place, probably defined by FHS, is in the init file headers itself. -- Tim Connors
