insserv doesn't create the links unless explicitly asked to do so. By
default (as it's called from dpkg), it only determines start/stop
ordering.

I'm not sure how those links are populated initially. It could be that
the package provides them, and is missing that one link.

To restore the defaults, run:
# insserv -vd ncid

Virtually none. You're only missing the kill script that affects
runlevel transitions into runlevel S (iiuc). That transition will never
happen unless you do it manually, and most people reboot into S, not
telinit into it.

No, shutdown and reboot are runlevels 0 and 6 respectively. That will
still work.
