you seemed to have moved symlinks pointing to nowhere that were for some reasons in the way.

So I broke said symlinks?
Because I just did the same to hildon-desktop as it was giving me a problem during update and the first thing it did when I tried to update after renaming it is start the hildon desktop.
(if you can read that)

I have about 40 files in said directory.
Following your post, are you saying all of them are symlinks pointing nowhere?

No - you're goiing to need those symlinks.
Possibly including the ones you've removed
They are there to set up any system services and things that happen during change of run-levels.
Here's a related link to something qwerty12 wrote whilst solving this.
As for your invoke-rc.d script: it shouldn't have the "a" before the # on the first line.

delete the broken symlinks and replace them by looking in /etc/init.d and making a new symlink. e.g. if you have "S20foobar" and it is dangling, "rm S20foobar" then "ln -s /etc/init.d/foobar S20foobar" - IF there's an appopriate package.
in theory provided you have been using the package manager to add and remove things you should never get any broken startup scripts.

Before
S20openntpd
S99zheadphoned
After
S20openntpd.BAK
S99zheadphoned.BAK
And after running update again, it worked.
My question is, what did i just do?
And after the updates, I see no openntpd or headphoned files in /rc2.d/ only the BAK that I made. Shouldn't there be new ones created? Just thinking aloud.
On a side note, everytime I run apt-get "anything" this line always shows up
