Wow. I'm not very knowledgeable on the matter, but after looking a bit around, I would say it is not okay to just remove that symlink. There's an "ups-monitor" virtual package defined in Policy, and apparently all packages providing it ship /etc/init.d/ups-monitor, and searching on the net one can find various bits of documentation referring to that file. I'm CC'ing -devel (and dropping -release via a Bcc) to see if there's somebody around who knows more about this. If nobody is, my take is that this nut upload is gratuitously breaking a traditional interface, and I don't think that should be done just to please insserv. Looks to me like insserv should be fixed instead...
