You can do that. > I also noticed that init scripts ask for "dpkg-reconfigure package" to > enable service start, which is disabled by default.

This sounds like a documentation fix. Currently, this should be covered by the freeze policy.

So better skip this for the upload targeting jessie, but you can prepare a separate .debdiff for Wouter to apply later if you like.

You are rightly wondering. These changes are likely not acceptable for jessie. It looks to me that you are looking a bit too far at the moment. This bug was found using piuparts. After applying your initial .debdiff, piuparts still rightfully complains (about other things). This is why I asked you to reiterate. Nothing more.
