The offending postinst would almost always be created by
override_dh_installinit:
dh_installinit -u defaults-disabled
So in principle, lintian could look for that call from d/rules rather than the
update-rc.d call in the postinst. I'm not sure what the relative abilities of
lintian's d/rules and postinst checkers are, and whether that is a useful
snippet of information.
Cheers
