It doesn't use insserv. And it is much simpler to administrate for small
systems like laptops or desktops.

ehm. file-rc uses also the /etc/init.d/ scripts so this answer is not
correct and there are other replacements I didn't mentioned.

God no. Insserv is pure crap. Just fix your package its broken like hell. 

Is there any _good_ reason why it has to _depend_ on insserv? (insserv is
fully optional, so there is no need for another essential package).

No, please accept that people don't like this.
