it seems to me that on empty Default-Stop the runlevels will be copied
from Default-Start, but this is not an issue, just to better understand

this seems correct

it is saying that the current stop runlevels (the /etc/rc*.d/*sysstat
links) are overriding the ones described by the LSB header (inside
the /etc/init.d/sysstat script)

the end result is that the rc*.d links are unchanged and the runlevels
still inconsistent

on new installations, simply adding the correct levels (0 1 6) to the
script should fix the bug, but to fix on upgrades you should remove
those links before running insserv, that is adding something like that
to postinst inside the configure step:
# new Default-Stop (see #971713)
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le '12.4.0-2'; then
update-rc.d -f sysstat remove
fi
this will also remove any tweaking done by user, that should be
annotated inside the NEWS.Debian file
I would like to provide you a patch, but I can't find where the init.d
file is enabled inside the sysstat postinst, that should be:
update-rc.d sysstat defaults
ciao!
