Bug Description
Deactivating the `asterisk` service in `rcconf` causes the error
/usr/
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `asterisk' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `asterisk' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).
insserv: script zfs-mount: service zfs already provided!
insserv: warning: script 'refdb' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service wulf2html and refdb if stopped
insserv: loop involving service refdb at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service wulf2html at depth 1
insserv: Stopping refdb depends on wulf2html and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
logged after the listing of all service when `rcconf` is invoked with `--verbose`. When `--verbose` is omitted this severe error simply isn't displayed and the user has no idea what is going on. Severe errors should always be logged. If necessary add a `--quiet` option and the according behavior when it is desired to really provide no feedback at all. This issues is not about the issue pointed out be the error message.
