Please could you give the packages at
  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sysvinit/
a try and let me know if this fixes the problem for you?
You probably only need to install initscripts, which is
  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sysvinit/initscripts_2.88dsf-37_amd64.deb

Out of interest, what is the output of
  % ls -l /bin/sh
on your system?  I was testing with dash, and didn't
observe this behaviour.


Thanks,
Roger
