Sounds like a bug in insserv, then.

The LSB doesn't really talk about what non-LSB applications should do,
and no packages in Debian are LSB apps, so I suspect this is a matter of
us deciding something sensible and trying to make sure it's
compatible with what the other distros do and then run with that.

Did they provide any reasoning for this?
