The question was how to completely delete the packaged owfs: and this deletes also init.d scripts.
I do not know if there is a “canonical way” to handle this situation, but when installing from source I prefer to completely delete the packaged sw (i.e. apt-get purge) and start from scratch. It is of course possible to keep only the configuration files (apt-get remove) and tweak them to point at the updated software. I don’t like this mixed situation (config files from Debian, actual sw from upstream), because of possible conflicts, but this is just a matter of taste.
