Please file a bug at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs
Sample:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/318495>
Note: I'd just add a bug report stating that the man page (be sure to
note which one - 5 or 8) and suggest that it be changed.
Added note: /etc/init.d/autofs still gets install & does still work.
However also let them know:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/autofs --status
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service autofs --status

The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but --status is not supported for Upstart jobs.

And...

$ service autofs restart
restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call",
sender=":1.76" (uid=1001 pid=13252 comm="restart)
interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0
pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))

Nor does, start, stop etc. autofs has larger issues, See:
