Ugh. That sounds like either sysv-rc or insserv will have to be temporarily removed during the upgrade due to their mutual conflicts, which is not a comforting thought in the light of #475478 and #538959. Maybe you can just use a Replaces without a Conflicts in sysv-rc and depend on insserv (>= 1.12.0-11) ? > - Rewrite update-rc.d to include the code in update-rc.d-insserv and > use it when /var/lib/insserv/using-insserv exist.
