Well, how should it then be a bug in watchdog? :-)

I reassign the bug to insserv without evaluating insserv possibilities. If
there is a way so the watchdog package can solve this problem, please tell me
and reassign back. I don't see one either.

No that's not possible. You don't want to have wd_keepalive running in single
user mode.
