Note that this is bug a regression - previously, before the (I presume) dh_installinit change, /etc/init.d/foo was a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job so a user running /etc/init.d/foo by hand was redirected to upstart anyway. So while I appreciate that a user might now be getting desired behaviour by calling /etc/init.d/foo directly on some package somewhere, it seems unlikely that this change will regress by redirecting to the upstart job as we were doing for that package on a previous release - the window for that behaviour to have diverged is fairly small.
