Yes, it prevents the initscript from failing with a non-zero error code
for the following reasons:
* Package not installed (how clever is this?).
* Daemon not enabled in /etc/default/saslauthd.
* No mechs defined in /etc/default/saslauthd.
So if MAINTSCRIPT=yes, it exits with 0 in the above cases.
The init script that I committed a few months back is just a rough draft
which outlines an LSB-compliant script. It needs work.
But your question is correct, we need to first consider the initscript
and then decide on the dh_installinit question. Thanks for asking the
right question! :)
