There is no need to assume, that is set explicitly in the init script.

What does the command 'grep ^NAME /etc/init.d/puppet' give as output in
your case?

In the debian packaging, it was set to "puppetd" in 0.25.5-1, but
changed to "agent" in 2.6.0-1. For the ubuntu packaging, it may be
different.

Your bug report mentions a newer version, could you check if you have
the init script that came with the package, or if it is changed, or an
older version is kept when upgrading? An "md5sum /etc/init.d/puppet" may
also help, if they differ.
