Bug Description

Running 'sudo debootstrap xenial /tmp/test http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu' fails for me, with this warning:

W: Failure while configuring required packages.
W: See /tmp/test/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package ifupdown is at fault)

and later looking at debootstrap.log reveals the problem: ifupdown is configured before initscripts, thus mountkernfs & urandom are not available yet:

Setting up ifupdown (0.8.10ubuntu1) ...
Creating /etc/network/interfaces.
insserv: Service mountkernfs has to be enabled to start service networking
insserv: Service urandom has to be enabled to start service networking
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing package ifupdown (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Note: debootstrap script exits with status code of 0, however when run inside D-I environment this results in failure when installing the base system.
