Right.  The I suspect the problem is in update-rc.d from
init-system-helpers, using the existence of insserv to decide if it
should be used, while it should look for both insserv in PATH and
/etc/insserv.conf before using it.  This was not really a problem when
insserv was installed by debootstrap, but installing it later with lots
of other packages will expose it.

I suspect something like this will solve it (untested patch):
