See that's what happens. If you want to compile your own stuff do it in
/usr/local as that is guaranteed to be off-limits to the packaging system.

try doing
touch /etc/init.d/webmin
and reinstall webmin. You should get a message about whether you want to
keep your existing file or install the package maintainers one. Say yes
to that.
