services-admin breaks service dependencies

Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

This is easily reproducible in gutsy:

When I disable and reenable a service in gnome tool services-admin, its priority in runlevel 2 (the runlevel I am using) is changed to 50. This can cause problems easily, leading to many other reported bugs.

I can see that startup scripts in init.d have dependencies in their headers (#INIT INFO), so it would be good to take it into account.
