even if debhelper is changed to inject maintscripts regardless of the
*.init script file in the source, non default actions are passed to
dh_installinit in the rules file, so in the case of an uncooperative
maintainer, there is no way for debhelper to know that it has to inject
non-default actions in the snippets.
