Bug#835520: [PATCH v2 07/11] Drop legacy code from invoke-rc.d example

[Andreas Henriksson]

For several releases the *-rc.d policy tools have always been available
on the system. At points we've had bugs that created corner-cases
which make the *-rc.d tools go missing during an upgrade phase,
but that should not be worked around in each and every package.
Thus remove the check if invoke-rc.d is available (as it's a bug
in some other package if it isn't these days).

Slightly reword the paragraph to not sound like anything should be
converted (which isn't the normal case these days), rather than just
use invoke-rc.d.

Closes: #833177
