previously init.d scripts should be installed prior to
sysvinit do_install[postfunc] call. that could result in
a race depending on implementation += or =+ in the
individual recipes. That was error-prone!

Now add sysvinit install as task after install before split
to overcome this problem.

I agree, but...

That is not without its own problems too.  Other tasks depending on
do_install (added with 'after install') is likely broken with this
change.  And as such, this is not backwards compatible.

Further, I would like to have the underlying problem addressed instead.

And that is that the current postfunc/prefunc mechanism is not
sufficient.  Instead of just using a dumb varflag, I would like to
introduce a new language feature: 'addfunc', which should work something
like addtask and addhook, so that dependencies to other funcs can be
specified explicitly.  Of-course, such a change is also not backwards
compatible, so it will have to wait until OE-lite core 4.

Going down a path to explosion of the number of tasks does not seem that
attractive.
