By all means. The lsb package provides a clean and abstract interface to init scripts, which has the advantage that it is easy to change the appearance and behaviour of the boot process (usplash, logging to files or remote hosts, quiet, etc.). This is a nightmare if you try this with the current echo constructions. However, during the transition period Debian shouldn't use Ubuntu's implementation, it should be adapted to be conformant to the current Debian policy. Thus during the transition period the boot process will still look consistent.
