  I tested the use of "rc.local" but "insserv --showall stop-bootlogd"
rejected that.

  Using "$all" is correct, see "insserv(8)" (search for "$all").

  After issuing "update-rc.d stop-bootlogd" the content for "rc.local"
and "stop-bootlogd" in the file "/etc/init.d/.depend.start") is the
same.

  The output on the terminal (use "--noclear", 

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --noclear 38400 tty1

in the "/etc/inittab" file)

shows the same last lines as in the "/var/log/boot" file.

(The last line should come from "stop-bootlogd" which is
"/etc/init.d/bootlogd stop")
