We already talk about this issue, as far as i remember ( but it was not on a bug report ). I don't remenber if you answer my question : with which user do you launch the init script ? Concerning your options, i see that you have set up launch_at_startup to false ( see your debconf information ). It could explain why your script doesn't start.
