Isn't checking every file under /etc/init.d going to be a bottleneck?
How about an alternative:
every package that is affected calls:
(postinst)
libc6_upgrade_register /etc/init.d/package restart
(prerm)
libc6_upgrade_deregister /etc/init.d/package restart
I assume that not many packages will be affected?
Or, if libc6 isn't the only package with this problem,
a more general solution:
(postinst)
dpkg_register upgrade libc6 /etc/init.d/package restart
(prerm)
dpkg_deregister upgrade libc6 /etc/init.d/package restart
which is better, as it is more general. libc6 would check what
packages have been registered in its postinst script, eg with a
similar call to one of the above. (ultimately, for the most general
solution, dpkg should support it).
