Unable to revert to legacy boot ordering and remove sysv-rc.  Missing
update-rc.d information for the following packages:

EOF
	# Map from script to packages
	for pkg in $(dpkg -S $missing | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) ; do
	    if dpkg -l $pkg | grep -q ^ii ; then
		echo "  $pkg"
		reconf="$reconf $pkg"
	    else
		echo "  $pkg (removed but not purged)"
	    fi
	done
	cat <<EOF

This is due to earlier issues with sysv-rc and insserv.  To work
around this issue, the packages listed need to register the
update-rc.d call again, for example using

  dpkg-reconfigure $reconf

before trying again to migrate to legacy boot ordering.  The removed
packages might need to be purged.  For some packages, purging and
reinstalling might be needed to record the update-rc.d call.

Aborting package removal until this is done, to avoid leaving the boot
system in a non-functioning state.  The insserv package needs to be
installed to be able to reconfigure the packages.
