Did you have this issue in Debian SID? It'd be very surprising, because
for init.d scripts, we have:

# Provides:          xcp-xapi
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog xcp-squeezed xcp-v6d xcp-fe
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

# Provides:          xcp-squeezed
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog xend
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

So, to me, your issue maybe have been that the xcp-squeezed init.d
script should also depend on xcp-fe and xcp-v6d. Should I patch the
xen-api package in this way? Or is it not important that xcp-fe and
xcp-v6d starts before xcp-squeezed?

Also note that if I do the above changes to the init.d script of
xcp-squeezed, we will have to add dependencies at the package level, so
that xcp-squeezed depends on xcp-fe and xcp-v6d. Otherwise, we'll have
piuparts failure like when xcp-xapi didn't depend on xen-utils-common.

Please let me know,
Cheers,
