No. Generally update-rc.d is a tool for maintainer scripts not for the admin to
use.
Its manpage says explicitly:
If any files /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name already exist
then update-rc.d does nothing. This is so that the system
administrator can rearrange the links, provided that they leave
at least one link remaining, without having their configuration
overwritten.

mv S91apache K91apache
There are probably some tools (sysv-rc-conf?) to make it more "user-friendly".
PS. this is a topic for debian-user not debian-devel
