Since we are currently having obsolete-initscript related upgrade problems in samba/qtsmbstatusd-server, had previously some with gfs2-utils, I went looking for packages that leave obsolete initscripts around after upgrades and therefore could evolve into problems later on.
Fixes should be trivial in most cases: echo "rm_conffile /etc/init.d/$INITSCRIPT $VERSION~" >> debian/$PACKAGE.maintscript Would the release team consider unblocking such changes for jessie? In that case I would write patches, test, file bugs (and maybe NMU) within the next days. The following initscripts are left as obsolete conffiles after upgrades from wheezy to jessie: bootcd_4.05.log:/etc/init.d/bootcdram cryptmount_5.0-2.log:/etc/init.d/cryptmount-early dahdi_1:2.10.0.1-1.log:/etc/init.d/dahdi gnunet-server_0.10.1-2.1.log:/etc/init.d/gnunet-server greylistd_0.8.8.4.log:/etc/init.d/greylist i8kutils_1.41.log:/etc/init.d/i8kbuttons live-config-sysvinit_4.0.4-1.log:/etc/init.d/live nova-console_2014.1.3-10.log:/etc/init.d/nova-consoleauth nova-volume_2014.1.3-10.log:/etc/init.d/nova-volume novnc_1:0.4+dfsg+1+20131010+gitf68af8af3d-4.log:/etc/init.d/novnc nsd3_4.1.0-2.log:/etc/init.d/nsd3 opensm_3.3.18-3.log:/etc/init.d/opensm-boot python-celery_3.1.13-3.log:/etc/init.d/celerybeat python-celery_3.1.13-3.log:/etc/init.d/celeryevcam python-celery_3.1.13-3.log:/etc/init.d/celeryd quantum-plugin-linuxbridge-agent_2014.1.3-12.log:/etc/init.d/quantum-plugin-linuxbridge-agent quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent_2014.1.3-12.log:/etc/init.d/quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent quantum-server_2014.1.3-12.log:/etc/init.d/quantum-server scanbuttond_1.4.0-2.log:/etc/init.d/scanbuttond shinken-core_2.0.3-4.log:/etc/init.d/shinken slurm-llnl-slurmdbd_14.03.9-5.log:/etc/init.d/slurm-llnl-slurmdbd sudo-ldap_1.8.10p3-1+deb8u1.log:/etc/init.d/sudo ulogd_2.0.4-1.log:/etc/init.d/ulogd yum_3.4.3-3.log:/etc/init.d/yum-updatesd ulogd and greylistd already have patches since they renamed the initscript (and moved it to another package) but have common LSB Provides: and therefore cause insserv to emit "service already provided" which is even more prone to create upgrade trouble, and usually needs a slightly bigger patch to fix.
