I have addressed this upstream. The next version of insserv will print a
warning when an init.d script has the same runlevel specified in the
Default-Start and Default-Stop fields. The output looks like this:

   insserv: Script bluetooth has overlapping Default-Start and
Default-Stop runlevels (2 3 4 5) and (0 1 3 6). This should be fixed.

Apart from the warning, insserv functions as before.
