I would, except netbase works within a normal debootstrap of squeeze (I
suspect this would be part of the testing of things like this already),
so there must be something else going on within multistrap.

It's either a preinst issue or a missing package.

or, alternatively, something about how dpkg decides how to order the
sequence of packages to configure.

debootstrap configures initscripts before netbase, multistrap calls
dpkg --configure -a which configures netbase before initscripts.

Looks like multistrap is going to have to run multiple configure runs,
based on the Priority: setting of the packages.

That's doable.

Seems to me that even if done through some debian-embedded custom routine, the interfaces used to interact with dpkg is still valid Debian, so the issue might still be interesting for Petter (who, I believe, is insserv maintainer) to improve on, to not ever cause such scary error messages - even if solvable by running dpkg-reconfigre twice.
