As far as I can tell, these things are the only dependency hpijs has on
sysv-rc specifically. Moreover, they wouldn't actually be dangerous if
you removed the sysv-rc dependency while leaving them in place in the
maintainer scripts, although in reality, you'd want to use update-rc.d
in order to correctly handle cleanup in systems using file-rc. So this
is actually an easy bug to fix, and the sysv-rc dependency is
unnecessary.
