In practice it was extremely difficult to make everyone happy doing this in non-dependency-based sysvinit. In wheezy, it was started at S16, and I think any earlier ran into deadlocks in some situations. However, in jessie you should find that either you're using dependency-based boot with sysvinit, or you're using a fundamentally smarter init daemon (systemd or upstart). In any of those cases, you should find that sshd starts pretty much as early as possible in practice. I don't think that it would be a good idea to try to change this in wheezy at this point, I'm afraid. I would be concerned about introducing more serious boot ordering bugs in the process.
