For configuration files in general, I agree.  For init scripts in
particular, I am less certain, as the function of each file in /etc/init.d
is mandated by the Linux Standard Base.

I am not the package maintainer of xfs anymore, though, so I am opening a
Debian bug report to accommodate your request.

(Note to self/package maintainers: please change the submitter of this bug
to Mr. Mitros once the BTS has allocated a bug number.)

Description: 
 xfs        - X font server
Closes: 148650 382776 446275 457900
Changes: 
 xfs (1:1.0.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     + Return an error to the log instead of segfaulting if
       catalogue line is omitted from config file, closes: #148650
   * Remove the obsolete /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options, closes: #382776.
   * Make sure maintainer scripts are generated during build, so that
     xfs-specific scripts are actually used instead of dh_installinit
     ones, causing the daemon to not always restart on upgrade,
     closes: #457900.
     + Add --no-start to dh_installinit so that default daemon restart
       code is not automatically added after the xfs-specific one.
   * Remove obsolete stuff from maintainer scripts.
   * Add descriptive comment to top of init script, closes: #446275.
