The typical dependencies are the virtual facilities listed on
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>.  The dependencies I
suggested should cover your list.

Yes.  Existing installations will keep the incorrect symlinks in
rc?.d/ unless something is done in the postinst script.  Changing the
runlevel list require special handling, while changing dependencies
will take effect automatically.

The last version of the quota package solved a similar issue.

Happy hacking,
