Maybe a better way of doing this is to use the lsb service install 
scripts (lsbinstall and friends). The packages for the relevant 
platforms would need to depend on the lsb-core package, but I suspect 
that is easier to work with than trying to support all the different 
distro's ways of installing init scripts.
