Looks like the wrong people sit in the FPC - this was just too obvious
and our brains jammed in accord.
Not entirely... since /sbin/service is only Requires(preun) and
Requires(postun), nothing is making initscripts a "pre" or runtime
requirement of the package AFAICT.
I still can't really picture a working system which wouldn't have
initscripts installed, though.
