use insserv

In the installation documentation you use update-rc.d to create the rc.d links.
Because of dependency based booting in debian squeeze insserv should be used instead.

On my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box my Debain version seems to be Wheezy:

$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid

However I have no insserv command installed. That link suggest installing it but since it is not already in use do you know how important/prevalent this method of linking scripts is?

Is it something that is required on some machines and not on others? I certainly had not heard of it until now.

Maybe you could suggest a recommended approach to linking in this observed landscape.

OK, that's... weird. I thought ubuntu 12 was based on squeeze.
But it seems like they have their own stuff: upstart, which is a reinvention of insserv. I think upstart came first though, they couldn't wait for the 6.0 release of debian.
On squeeze you should use insserv, so maybe just add a little note about that?

Yes that sounds like a good solution.

Added insserv support (if insserv is available on the system being used) to #91.
