Bug#931181: init-system-helpers breaks chrony autopkgtest

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of init-system-helpers the autopkgtest of chrony
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of init-system-helpers from unstable. It passes when run with only
packages from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
init-system-helpers    from testing    1.57
chrony        	       from testing    3.4-4
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of
init-system-helpers to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I
filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate
the situation and reassign the bug to the right package? If needed,
please change the bug's severity.
