insserv: Stopping splunk depends on munin-node and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

I've solved this by adapting the section from mysql for splunk, thus (as a diff) - this has let us migrate to a dependency based boot with insserv:

diff --git a/init.d/splunk b/init.d/splunk
