So I think it is not describing "SysV init scripts" but chkconfig or LSB init scripts, so headline maybe should better be "Writing chkconfig init scripts" or "Writing LSB init scripts". I'm not sure if calling insserv directly (instead using update-rc.d) is fully working in all cases on Devuan systems (maybe insserv does not handle overrides or such), so maybe it is not fully applicable for Devuan. I'm afraid nowadays someone cannot assume that chkconfig, service, insserv/rmserv, other tooling modifying SysV init scripts in /etc/rcX.d/ (and update-rc.d, which seems to be Debian specific) being compatible to each other, not even on Linux, and each requires package manager support for postinstall scripts, which I don't have here.
