The following line should read exactly:
$ sudo update-rc.d martian start 45 2 3 4 5 . stop 55 0 1 6 .

As far as the warnings go, it looks like update-rc.d tightened up on 
sysv script requirements as I don't remember getting those messages back 
then, Anyway, it's easy to remedy. All you need is a section like the 
following under #!/bin/sh in /etc/init.d/martian

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:    martian_modem
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: martian modem driver
### END INIT INFO

By the time it starts everything that martian_modem requires to work 
should already be running, so the Required/Should values are left blank.

Lastly, since you're having to restart the daemon in order to use efax, 
there could be an issue with efax trying to lock /dev/ttySM0 but can't. 
Check /var/lock and see if wvdial/gnome-ppp left a stale lock when it 
closed.
