Thanks for the helpful suggestions, here's what solved the problem:

% cp /var/cache/apt/archives/multipath-tools_0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-6_i386.deb /tmp
% cd /tmp
% aunpack multipath-tools_0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-6_i386.deb
# mv /etc/init.d/multipath-tools /etc/init.d/multipath-tools-1
# cd /tmp/multipath-tools_0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-6_i386
# cp etc/init.d/multipath-tools /etc/init.d/multipath-tools 
# /etc/init.d/multipath-tools restart
# rm /etc/init.d/multipath-tools-1

After restarting the multipath-tools daemon, I was able to upgrade the
multipath-tools package successfully.

Thanks again!

John
