Okay. I believe this bug could be closed on timeout, and both 'start'
and 'stop' sub-actions could be dropped, together with `sysv_plain'
(pre-boot-dependency) part.

What worries me is that `update-rc.d defaults' do not seems to
work (insserv=1.18.0):

  # update-rc.d cron disable 3
  insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 4 5) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
  insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (3) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
  # update-rc.d cron defaults
  insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 4 5) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
  insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (3) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
  # insserv cron
  insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 4 5) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
  insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (3) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
  # insserv cron -f
  insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 4 5) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
  insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (3) of script `cron' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
  # update-rc.d cron enable 3

As can be seen, neither `update-rc.d defaults' nor direct invocation of
/sbin/insserv do not restore runlevels, prescribed by LSB header. Jesse,
am I doing it wrong?
