kexec init script is installed S85. sysv-rc's reboot is installed S90. Reboot uses its -f flag. There fore, I see no reason why kexec won't use its -f flag too. I believe that can simplify the package by eliminating -e completely, and make it more readable. Being more simple will answer some of the questions that the original bug submitter has raised.
