So I'm wondering what deleted /etc/init.d/nftables - AFAICT it hasn't 
been in the Debian package for a while.

It is - but it only works for future changes - it can't retroactively 
fix a file that orphan-sysvinit-scripts registered with ucf while the 
associated package was still claiming the file itself (and so able to 
remove it); I don't think it's plausible to try and retroactively fix 
that, but it should be fixed from 0.09 onwards.

What do:
ls -l /etc/init.d/nftables
ucf -d /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables /etc/init.d/nftables

say?
