This looks sane to me. Obviously the readlink test could be combined with the my
declaration:
my $insserv_installed = -x "$dpkg_root$insserv" &&
-e "$dpkg_root/etc/insserv.conf" &&
readlink "$dpkg_root/usr/sbin/init" ne "../lib/systemd/systemd";
But that is just sugar.

I agree.

LGTM.
Thanks for taking this on.
