Putting the last and first examples together with a guess, maybe the paragraph would be better if it were changed to:

        Each file defines a single job. The name of the job is the filename under
        this directory without the .conf extension. For example a job defined in
        /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is named rc-sysinit, while a job defined in
        /etc/init/net/apache.conf is named net/apache. The terms service and
        task are also used. These are synonyms for job.
