It is documented in the update-rc.d manpage:
If any files /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name already exist then update-
rc.d does nothing. The program was written this way so that it will
never change an existing configuration, which may have been customized
by the system administrator. The program will only install links if
none are present, i.e., if it appears that the service has never been
installed before.
