sysstat's init.d has the following lines in /etc/init.d/sysstat

# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:

I'm not sure how empty Default-Stop is interpreted, so I've just tried
to change it to:
# Default-Stop:     0 1 6

As a result insserv displays two warnings instead of one:

insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (empty) of script `sysstat'
overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).
insserv: Script ssh has overlapping Default-Start and Default-Stop
runlevels (2 3 4 5) and (2 3 4 5). This should be fixed.

As a maintainer of sysstat I have no idea what else I can do to fix the
warning. It seems to me there is some bug in insserv. As the bug affects
my package, and  according to the bug report "any package that has
init.d file", I'm setting severity of this report to grave.

Oh, reinstalling the package does not fix the warnings either:

Also please note that sysstat's debian/rules uses the following lines,
but I'm not sure if this information is relevant or not:

override_dh_installinit-arch:
        dh_installinit --no-start --no-restart-after-upgrade
--no-stop-on-upgrade

override_dh_installsystemd-arch:
        dh_installsystemd --no-start --no-restart-after-upgrade
--no-stop-on-upgrade

BTW. I don't use insserv, I've installed it today, and I've seen these
messages during installation:

Konfigurowanie pakietu insserv (1.21.0-1) ...
insserv: Script ssh has overlapping Default-Start and Default-Stop
runlevels (2 3 4 5) and (2 3 4 5). This should
be fixed.

insserv: FATAL: service mountdevsubfs has to exist for service hwclock
insserv: FATAL: service urandom has to exist for service networking

I don't know if they are related or not. I've checked that
/etc/init.d/ssh also contains empty Default-Stop line.
