Err, yes.  There were complains about the -rc.d prefix way back in Debconf2,
but the truth is the ship had sailed already (due to update-rc.d).

Migrating to a new tool with a less obnoxious name isn't a problem, but this
needs to be planned carefully as it is going to span at least two stable
releases.  And invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d compatibility interfaces will
have to be kept around for a *long* time, probably for at least two more
stable releases, to avoid breaking things for third-party packages that
don't use the LSB compatibility layer.
