No, it was discussed on debian-policy before it was implemented in sysvinit.

Neither the FHS nor Debian Policy generally can be ignored by packages in
Debian.

Your package is in violation of Policy.  Fix it.  If you don't like Policy,
file a bug against debian-policy about it - but there's no good reason at
all for this change, and Debian does not change its filesystem policy every
time an upstream decides to ignore it for no good reason.
