It's not, afaics. My guess is it's related to [1] I suspect this can be fixed by dropping the Breaks: initscripts (<< 2.88dsf-59.5) from the initscripts package and only keeping the Replaces (I know this is not a 100% policy compliant, but I've seen this approach used before where apt got confused).
