Sorry for not being helpful, I read somewhere that init.d is deprecated and to use service instead, I don't know but somewhen the two behaviours diverged and they are not the same anymore.

Unfortunately I don't know the difference neither I have any clue to find the documentation I read a while ago.

Cheers,
