Title:
  lintian reports errors in postinst because of upstart dh_installinit
  behavior

Status in “lintian” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  dh_installinit adds an update-rc.d remove in postinst to make sure old
  init.d scripts converted to upstart jobs are disabled from starting.

  Lintian wants update-rc.d in postinst to be matched by update-rc.d in
  postrm, but this is bogus because it is a *remove* in postinst, so no
  add is necessary in postrm.
