I don't see any point on supporting insserv within file-rc. I use file-rc to
have an alternative to such a system. File-rc is different and will not work
properly with dependency based booting. I think resorting the configuration
file (hint, its a user file) is not a solution - so how should I implement it
in file-rc?. Its all about choice and also I don't like if another maintainer
which is not able to see its own bugs like to force me on its - in my eyes -
broken solution. All I want to have is that sysv-rc is working properly, its
usage of update-rc.d together with the debconf switch is just broken and a
bug and reacting on this bug with filling a bug against file-rc that it
should insserv in the future is not ok.
