[Bug 1030195] [NEW] lintian reports errors in postinst because of upstart dh_installinit behavior

[Clint Byrum]

Public bug reported:

dh_installinit adds an update-rc.d remove in postinst to make sure old
init.d scripts converted to upstart jobs are disabled from starting.

Lintian wants update-rc.d in postinst to be matched by update-rc.d in
postrm, but this is bogus because it is a *remove* in postinst, so no
add is necessary in postrm.
