I'm not sure I understand, sorry. Why would use of explicit path to run
invoke-rc.d be interesting at all? If you meant that use of path to run
policy-rc.d, then I'm also not sure it's a problem, since only
invoke-rc.d is supposed to be running policy-rc.d at all.

However, I'm probably only missing something since this is not an area I
have spent a lot of time thinking about.
