I think it is rc-base.

What it was doing was changing the relative symbolic links in
/etc/rc.* to absolute, and this was screwing up a large number of
things, including an older version of update-rc.d, which just couldn't
deal with this. I think the problem stemmed from update-rc.d breaking
and then subsequent packages not being able to update symlinks upon
upgrade. Total reinstallation might not have been necessary -- I fixed
mine with a cp -a /etc/rc3.d /etc/rc2.d or something similar.

I think this is generally a good idea, though I'm not sure it would
have helped in this case, since the problem was (I think) that certain
scripts just weren't getting called.
