insserv do not assume this.  It uses init.d script dependecy
information as provided by the scripts themselves and from files
included in insserv, to reorganize the boot sequence according to
these dependencies.  It also include experimental scripts to run
init.d scripts in parallel.

I suspect we have a problem of expectations here.  The package is in
early testing, and need more dependency information before it is ready
for general use.  It works for me on my four test machines

'rm' has the potential of rendering the system unbootable if used in
appropriately to reorder the boot sequence.

I agree that more should be done to improve insserv, but the fact that
one administrator didn't read the docs and tested an package in
development in a way that broke his system should not lead to this
package being removed from the archive.

To debug, it would be useful to have the output from the 'insserv -v'
(or just 'insserv -v -n' run), as well as the output from 'ls
/etc/rsS.d /etc/rc2.d/' on the machines in question.
