Lintian can as far as I know not run the postinst, and thus do not
know which of the potential several update-rc.d calls in the source
will be used.  I've seen postinst code asking debconf questions to
decide which arguments to pass to update-rc.d.

Thus I do not know how to detect it reliably using lintian.

Happy hacking,
