Why did you try to disable insserv?
It doesn't matter why one would want to disable some package. The package has to be deinstallable fine, no matter how (semi) essential those packages are. If the package isn't able to get removed properly (without jumping though hoops) it's broken, it's as simple as that. > Insserv will become essential together with sysv-rc, and is not > supposed to be simple to remove any more. Please leave that part to the hooks in the package managers that already have the hoops of requesting users to do something specific to get it removed anyway - there is no need to add another layer here.
