It's not about policy needing an update, but about the package deleting user
changes that were doen the right way according to policy. 

After insser has been activated the admin has to make the changes by changing
the dependency headers, right. But if he made changes before installing insserv
must not override them without notice.

I don't think this suffices. Every maintainance script that moves some startup
links to a different level was supposed to check first whether those links are
still in the default level and not touch them if they weren't. Why can't we
expect the same from insserv?
