I suspect the initial reordering probably indicates one of two things:

1. There is something about the host system that is causing insserv to
toggle ordering back and forth which we haven't been able to reproduce.
This would result in insserv switching things back to "normal" when run
on another system, and then leave it be.

2. Something on the host system changed init script dependencies,
resulting in a reshuffling. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can
happen when a script is added or removed from /etc/init.d, possibly by
the package manager. It usually just indicated something changed since
the last time insserv was run.
