I considered using triggers to update the boot sequence, but decided
against it because it not ensure the bot sequence is consistent after
upgrades.  I believe it is better that a inconsistent boot sequence
casues imediate failure instead of trying to clean up the mess after
the init.d scripts have been replaced.

Sound like a bug in some package.  Only one I remember having such bug
recently was util-linux, and that bug was luckily solved after a few
days.  Is there some new bug around now?

Happy hacking,
