We don't use insserv in Ubuntu, so marking low, but it's an unnecessary diff from Debian, so dropping this change.

This bug was fixed in the package pppconfig - 2.3.18+nmu3ubuntu1

---------------
pppconfig (2.3.18+nmu3ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - lsb init script
    - use /var/cache/pppconfig
    - unbreak "change" so it works for non-standard devices
    - debian/postinst: On upgrade, remove the old dns-clean rcS.d symlink and
      install into runlevels 1-5 instead.
    - dns-clean: Update LSB headers.

  * Don't update the po files on clean; Add update-po target; This decreases the
    overall diff
    - update debian/rules
  * Drop Required-Start gdm diff as we don't use insserv in Ubuntu by default
    (LP: #671308)
    - update dns-clean

pppconfig (2.3.18+nmu3) unstable; urgency=low

Now that we do use insserv by default in Ubuntu can we actually fix this bug instead of ignoring it?

Workaround: edit the script in /etc/init.d/pppd-dns and delete "gdm" from Required-Start
