Err, sorry, I got confused.  Well, yes, we could remove the path from
invoke-rc.d, as long as we coordinate that with other invoke-rc.d's, and
there are few enough (two, three?) that it shouldn't be a problem.

Whether that will gain you anything depends on nothing else mucking with the
PATH, though.  And given that we are talking maintainer scripts here, I am
not really sure what to expect.

I am not at all opposed to removing the policy-rc.d path, *but* it should be
handled as a minor specification change (there will be documentation to be
updated, and other packages that provide invoke-rc.d, mainly file-rc and
friends, need to be checked for compliance).
