Package: insserv
Version: 1.12.0-10
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

If a sysadmin changes the priority of one of the init scripts manually, insserv
must not ignore this change and simply delete the link, but it does. To
reproduce simply change the priority of one script manually before enabling
insserv. This definitely loses data (namely the priority the process was
supposed to run in) and might even make the system unbootable.
