Issue #3936 has been updated by Steven Lumos.

Would that mean ensure => running would silently fail?

Won't this break people who use policy-rc.d to prevent starting daemons during 
package install (before they've been configured), but want puppet to start them 
(after their config is installed)?

Feature #3936: Puppet should start/stop services using invoke-rc.d for debian

Though puppet uses invoke-rc.d for debian services to determine whether a 
service is enabled, it starts/stops services by invoking the init scripts 
directly.  It should instead use invoke-rc.d for starting/stopping, so as to 
support policy enforcement.

We ran into an issue where a system was using policy-rc.d to prevent services 
from starting up.  This worked fine, until we started having services that 
Puppet was trying to restart; since Puppet invokes the init scripts directly, 
policy-rc.d is ignored.

On systems with Upstart-based init, you may also want to consider using 
Upstart-specific methods for starting/stopping services, though I'm not very 
familiar with it and I'm not sure what benefits/drawbacks that may have.
