To understand why the /etc/rc?.d directories were added to init-system-helpers, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=834524 Keep in mind that the package ships update-rc.d, which creates symlinks in those directories. So it's completely justified that the package owns those directories. While we could move update-rc.d into a separate sub-package, this would not gain as a lot, as we'd either have to make it essential or have init-system-helpers depend on it, so we'd be back to square one. The reason for that is, that update-rc.d has always been considered essential, so maintainer scripts use it with actually depending on the package shipping update-rc.d. We can't simply break hundreds of packages like thi. I guess this makes it an unfixable bug and I'm marking this as wontfix. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
