Solution:
For every service with broken symlink I:
- deleted it using: update-rc.d -f <servicename> remove
- searched for the related package using: dpkg -S /etc/init.d/<servicename>
- reconfigured this package using: dpkg-reconfigure <packagename>
reconfiguration ran the postinstall script and recreated the now missing symlinks with correct sequence numbers
After fixing all my init script symlinks, this problem is gone. Thank you all so much for your help.
