Ok, init.d script were a bad idea (I think that policy is flawed, btw.
Policy allows in general for files in /etc to not be registed as conffiles
if you offer an interface to allow modifications to them).
A better example is using dh_installmodules to stick a module fragment in
/etc/modutils/, or using dh_installmenu to stick a menu-method file in
/etc/menu-methods/. In either of these cases, policy allows the file to not
be a conffile, if you have an interface to let it be modified.
