I did and I thought I don't have enough confidence to say anything about
them.

I wwanted to suggest putting the thing that dh_make does into
/etc/init.d/skeleton but then I've found out dh_make does not generate an
initscript at all. See #832764. That bug also says the dh_make skeleton
was problematic too.
It still generates a default.ex though, which mentions the initscript,
I'll file a bug about that.
