These names (K90....) doesn't work when insserv is enabled. Insserv will

I cannot give these informations as the backup only saves the content not the
permissions or users and I just reinstalled the package with the current
version. But here are the symlinks with targets:
rc0.d/K01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc1.d/K01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc2.d/S01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc3.d/S01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc4.d/S01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc5.d/S01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
rc6.d/K01binfmt-support -> ../init.d/binfmt-support
