No, update-rc.d from dpkg behaves just like the manpage tells you. But
note that Roland says "in reality I use runlevel.conf", which means he
uses file-rc or r2d2. Both come with their own update-rc.d which
might be broken.
So if someone is going to file a bug report, don't file it against dpkg,
file it against the package that actually provides the update-rc.d
that is being used.
