I would not see a problem in the duplication. If the differences are really so big that a patch does not make sense, I would just ignore the old one. Whether you replace it by your init script (diff is in the diff.gz) or keep your script in debian and use debian/rules to copy it over the redhatish original in debian/tmp/... is just a matter of taste, I'd say.
