no --force-* option for installing worked? If not try this: touch the file needed in /etc/init.d. When the install script asks you to replace it, say yes. or the really ugly way, grab each deb that you messed up, unpack it in a temp directory with ar x foo.deb, and grab the init.d script from the package by hand.
