How is that expected to behave on systems using other init systems? Here I disable daemons-related actions during apt activity through policy-rc.d, grouping them at the end of apt actions through needrestart, so I probably avoid unwanted systemctl calls that way. But were I not using this specific policy, should I expect maintainer scripts to fail on my systems that do not run systemd? Or are maintainer scripts expected to check for systemd presence, and only call deb-systemd-invoke on systems actually running this init system?
