:) also option, but u-a should at least show warning that link file is
not and link and in worse scenario refuse to replace non-link file with
link to alternative (IIRC the case for u-a-cworth and his variant
included in opkg).

What I had in mind was adding:
update-rc.d $OPT ${INITSCRIPT_NAME} ${INITSCRIPT_PARAMS}
after u-a call in postinst and similar
update-rc.d $OPT ${INITSCRIPT_NAME} remove
in postrm, etc.
