Is that really the correct fix?
Now other services, like e.g. console-setup are broken, because they 
expect the facility to be named console-screen.
E.g. /etc/init.c/console-setup has:

# Should-Start:      console-screen

There are a couple of other packages, which share the same problem, e.g. 
  all the syslog daemons provide the "syslog" facility.

Wouldn't it be better, if update-rc.d.insserv allowed to insert two 
services with the same Provides? IIRC insserv actually allows that and 
does it correctly.

CCed Peter for his opininon.

Cheers,
Michael
