has caused the Debian Bug report #553139,
regarding twiki: maintainer-script-calls-init-script-directly (postinst:209,
postrm:35) than using invoke-rc.d. The use of invoke-rc.d to
invoke the /etc/init.d/* initscripts instead of calling them
directly is required. Maintainer scripts may call the init script
directly only if invoke-rc.d is not available.

Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.3.3.2 (Running initscripts) for details.
,----[ 9.3.3.2 Running initscripts ]
| The program invoke-rc.d is provided to make it easier for package maintainers
to
| properly invoke an initscript, obeying runlevel and other locally-defined
| constraints that might limit a package's right to start, stop and otherwise
| manage services. This program may be used by maintainers in their packages'
| scripts.
|
| The package maintainer scripts must use invoke-rc.d to invoke the
/etc/init.d/*
| initscripts, instead of calling them directly.
|
| By default, invoke-rc.d will pass any action requests (start, stop, reload,
| restart...) to the /etc/init.d script, filtering out requests to start or
| restart a service out of its intended runlevels.
|
| Most packages will simply need to change:
|
| /etc/init.d/<package>
| <action>
|
| in their postinst and prerm scripts to:
|
| if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
| invoke-rc.d package <action>
| else
| /etc/init.d/package <action>
| fi
|
| A package should register its initscript services using update-rc.d before it
| tries to invoke them using invoke-rc.d. Invocation of unregistered services
may
| fail.
|
| For more information about using invoke-rc.d, please consult its man page
| invoke-rc.d(8).
