any advantage of "invoke-rc.d" over "service"??

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm reading some new install instructions for a newly-released and
it suggests to use:

  $ sudo invoke-rc.d <service name>  ... etc etc ...

  normally, i'd use the "service" command instead, and i understand
that "invoke-rc.d" is used *during* the install process when, for some
reason i don't understand, "service" isn't fully available(?)

  are those two commands entirely equivalent?  is there any reason
that normal operation *should* use "service" over "invoke-rc.d"?  just
curious.
