@Lorenzo oh yeah, many thanks :)

so the fix would be like the one attached to this mail

but reading the init.d script I see that it does not stop anything, so
an empty Default-Stop should be correct

what I really don't understand now it's from where those messages come
from:

> Default-Stop runlevels (2 3 4 5) and (2 3 4 5). This should be fixed.

running insserv on a script with an empty Default-Stop field does not
print this message, at least with buster and sid versions

reading the source, it could set an empty Default-Stop to the value of
Default-Start, but only when compiled with the -DSUSE flag enabled:

  https://sources.debian.org/src/insserv/1.21.0-1/insserv.c/#L3727

and this flag is not enabled on debian builds

this instead comes from ssh, that have an empty Default-Stop too

@Robert Luberda: I ran out of ideas, your script was correct with an
empty Default-Stop field, like the ssh one!

Actually I'm running a buster installation, but using the sid insserv
binary it does not show this issue, so I can't debug further for now

ciao!
