Alright, my main concern was to prevent to ship something broken.
As long as there are still some SysV or init script users that may report potential
issues on the script that's fine.

Anyway as you pointed out, TC took position and lintian (>=2.16.0) even raises an error
if a packaged daemon is missing init script !

Thanks for your feed back.
