This is true for invoke-rc.d, but not for update-rc.d. It is perfectly
fine for the sysadmin to call "update-rc.d disable|enable foo", but not
"update-rc.d remove foo".

Really? If I take a look at /sbin/service, it does not call invoke-rc.d.

It's the other way around, invoke-rc.d calls systemctl for various
actions if it detects that systemd is PID 1.
