Yes, and a whap on the head for anyone who could so badly misinterprit
policy, which is quite unambiguous on this point:
The `/etc/init.d' scripts should be treated as configuration files,
either by marking them as `conffile's or managing them correctly in
the maintainer scripts (see Section 11.7, `Configuration
files').

see shy jo, who introduced the /etc/default/ files amendment to policy,
and never intended it to make /etc/init.d/ files not be
conffiles any more.
