That's more of a debian-user question, since it actually doesn't matter
what architecture you are on.

I have never seen insserv start a script before successful completion
of a required-start script.  Of course this assumes you are using the
right syntax to specify services in each script and that you are actually
using insserv with dependancy based booting.
