Is specifying which init scripts start via the rc.config file a convention specific to SuSE or is it part of the Linux Standard Base?
No, using the START_* variables in addition to having symlinks for all runlevels is SuSE-specific and not defined in the LSB. As Michael already mentioned, they will be removed for the next release and rc.config in general will be cleaned up heavily. The START_* variables make it easy to enable or disable a service, but they are not very flexible (you cannot define the startup of a script on the basis of individual run levels).
