These messages don't mean that nothing has changed. One sees them
frequently when packages are upgraded and run their postinst scripts.
wheezy's man update-rc.d has
update-rc.d [-n] name start|stop NN runlevel [runlevel]... . start|stop NN runlevel [runlevel]... . ...
but jessie's man update-rc.d doesn't.
Many postinst scripts (about a dozen here) have lines like
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon" ]; then
update-rc.d avahi-daemon start 14 2 3 4 5 . stop 86 0 1 6 . >/dev/null
which makes sub cmp_args_with_defaults in update-rc.d
emit these lines.
I haven't read the script in detail but I'm guessing it's something to
do with the move to parallel execution of init scripts.
Cheers,
David.
