The discovered issues with insserv 1.12.0-1 has been resolved, and a sourcefull upload of 1.12.0-2 was done to solve an issue detected on alpha. This was a problem with insserv expecting deterministic ordering of entries returned from readdir(), which proved to cause a problem on alpha. The issue exist in all versions of insserv up to 1.12.0-2.
Most of the changes done since the version in Lenny (1.11.0-9) are updates to the test suite, and the new version pass all the tests passed by version 1.11.0-9 as well as all the new tests like the one failing if the readdir() ordering isn't as insserv expect it. The test suite is very comprehensive. In addition, Kel Modderman has done a great job with the upstream author and got almost all our patches integrated into the new version. And finally, upstream rewrote the script ordering code to handle start and stop sequences separately, to solve a long term Debian bug with "fake" dependenly loops. All in all, the new version of insserv is tested and confirmed to do as it should for all settings where it is expected to work, and also make the ordering more robust regarding file system features and script dependencies. Please allow it to propagate into Lenny when its resting time in unstable is over. It will improve the state of the release goal for dependency based boot sequencing in Lenny.
