Oh, yes, I misunderstood that too.  How about:

        These maintainer scripts must not call the upstart
        <prgn>start</prgn>, <prgn>restart</prgn>, <prgn>reload</prgn>, or
        <prgn>stop</prgn> interfaces directly.

which uses the same term (interfaces) that is used for calling invoke-rc.d
and update-rc.d?
