These messages don't mean that nothing has changed. One sees them
frequently when packages are upgraded and run their postinst scripts.

wheezy's man update-rc.d has

       update-rc.d  [-n] name start|stop NN runlevel [runlevel]...  .  
start|stop NN runlevel [runlevel]...  . ...

but jessie's man update-rc.d doesn't.

Many postinst scripts (about a dozen here) have lines like

if [ -x "/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon" ]; then
        update-rc.d avahi-daemon start 14 2 3 4 5 . stop 86 0 1 6 . >/dev/null

which makes   sub cmp_args_with_defaults   in update-rc.d
emit these lines.

I haven't read the script in detail but I'm guessing it's something to
do with the move to parallel execution of init scripts.

Cheers,
David.
