Hi,

I am not sure that the startup behaviour of the daemon should depend on the maintainer scripts executed during installation.

Wouldn't it be better to let the admin decide and configure it? In this case something like:

 # echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nexit 101' > /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
 # chmod +x /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
 # /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
 # echo $?
 101

should do the trick.
If you want different daemons to have a different startup behaviour, you could evaluate the first parameter of policy-rc.d as described in [1].
