Bug#922815: What is the current workaround?

I just tried to install rcconf on a Debian testing sytem.  Since rcconf 
requires insserv, it was installed first.  During the insserv install I 
got:

insserv: FATAL: service mountkernfs has to exist for service udev
insserv: FATAL: service urandom has to exist for service networking

I am curious, what is the current state of this bug?  There is talk 
about first installing initscripts as a workaround for this.  But the 
initscripts package also depends on insserv, so I still get the above 
errors.  The only way I seem to be able to avoid the above fatal error 
messages is if I install initscripts (which tries to install insserv), 
and then reinstall insserv.

This seems rather circular.
