I can see no benefit to splitting dh_installinit like that.
When building the package, there is no ordering requirement that the
init script be installed before dh_py*.

Yes, dh_py* need to come before dh_installinit.

For pysupport, I will be changing the sequence addon to use this:
insert_before("dh_installinit", "dh_pysupport");

python-central should have the same change made to it. I will clone this bug
report to it.

(Perl is not affected by this problem.)
