It's the code in the maintainer scripts (preinst, postinst, prerm,
postrm), yes. The postinst, for instance, is typically responsible for
adding links to init.d scripts, and runs update-rc.d.

The only case that will cause a problem is if you use update-rc.d to
remove the links entirely, which won't be preserved on upgrade. Changing
the order of the links with update-rc.d is fine.
