Does

  echo '$network network-manager' > /etc/insserv.conf.d/network-manager
  insserv

fix things; or alternatively

  edit /etc/insserv.conf to read
    $network        +networking +ifupdown +network-manager
  run insserv

The former will allow network-manager to provide the "$network" virtual
service directly.  The latter hard codes it into the main insserv
config which is less flexible--it's mainly restricted to the scripts
provided by initscripts itself.  If the former works, that's preferable
I think.

This is the most obvious defect I can see.  It's kind of a major one
though--I'm very surprised that such a fundamental defect wouldn't
have been picked up sooner.
