This is quite odd, because there were no changes to mountoverflowtmp between 2.88dsf-22 and 2.88dsf-22.1. It was an NMU of debconf template translations only, and there were no changes to mountoverflowtmp for a long time (years) prior to this. In experimental in 2.88dsf-23, we did remove the mountoverflowtmp script. Is it a possibility that you installed -23 and downgraded to -22? It's a vague possibility that dpkg failed to reinstall the conffile, and this resulted in update-rc.d failing due to the script not being present. I've not received any other reports of this problem to date, and I can't yet reproduce the problem on my own systems--I never had any problem with the 22.1 upgrade, and the -23 and -24 upgrades from experimental have never caused any upgrade problems on my test systems either.
