How do you achieve that? For example symlinking invoke-rc.d to
/bin/true is a workaround, but I'm searching for a general solution
to avoid that daemons are started when upgrading even though they
did not run before the upgrade (or don't start any service at all,
e.g. in chroots - as you mentioned).

The init script would be broken then.
Anyway, I don't see the difference between "stop || exit $?" and
"stop || true" in this case.
