I've re-assigned the bug report to insserv and so their maintainers can
have a look at what is causing the problem.

To diagnose the problem we need more information:
1/ the output of /usr/share/insserv/make-testsuite
2/ the contents of /etc/init.d/: tar czf etc-initd.tar.gz /etc/init.d/

Please attach this information when you reply.

Michael
