“/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh start” works fine but neither “service
console-screen.sh start” nor the equivalent invoke-rc.d does.

The difference is that /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd correctly
trims the .sh off the service name while service does not.  The attached
patch addresses the issue in both service and invoke-rc.d
