file-rc now uses insserv, so it's unaffected. insserv support was added to file-rc for wheezy in order that the static ordering stuff could be removed for jessie. However, the utility of file-rc in a dependency-boot-enabled world is questionable. While the configuration file can be hand edited, in practice you really want to only use the update-rc.d interface to so so (since the runlevel sequence ordering is dynamic). Apart from that, it works just fine. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
