Er, there is nothing "limited" about Debian's support for LSB init
scripts.  You (and the maintainer of this package) seem to be making the
error of thinking that LSB support imposes requirements on how an
LSB-compliant OS manages its *own* init scripts.  It does not -- it only
specifies the features that an LSB-compliant OS must make available for
use by an LSB init script.  So yes, if insserv assumes that all Debian
initscripts are LSB init scripts, it is fundamentally broken.
