OK, if Debian plans to support other init systems, that's fine.

I don't understand what you mean here. For instance, in case of wicd,
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/wicd" ]; then
update-rc.d wicd defaults >/dev/null
if [ -n "$2" ]; then
_dh_action=restart
else
_dh_action=start
fi
invoke-rc.d wicd $_dh_action || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section
and the switch will be honored.
