Other packages are relative ;-) You're right saying ssh, nfs and openbsd-inetd does not require VERBOSE to be set, they just use echo or the lsb_* functions. But for example, on my laptop acpid, fuse, module-init-tools, rsync and x11-common require VERBOSE!=no After looking in the policy[1], I still think the behavior of my script is okay, because they don't tell anything about "a script MUST have output" but refer to the skeleton, which uses VERBOSE as well. However, I'll post this question to d-devel, maybe there is some wise init-guru who can tell us the perfect behavior.
