Yes.  You can use that script to start (and then stop) the service on
demand.

        /etc/init.d/apache2 start

That directory is where the template script resides.  You can restore
the defaults later if you need to.

        update-rc.d apache2 defaults
        
Or use some custom selection of sequence and runlevels.  The defaults
are fished out of the template script and you can view them there in the
script.

runlevel is kind of an anachronism.  You can find it by running
'runlevel' and you can change it by running 'telinit'  It is/was used to
have different constellations of services running, effectively putting
the machine into different modes of operation.

17 is the sequence in which the script is executed.  It can be anything
00 - 99.  Look at the numbers of the other scripts in /etc/rc2.d/

The manual pages for update-rc.d, runlevel, and telinit cover a lot of
details and some background.  The whole mess is referred to as SystemV
init scripts.
