$ lintian powstatd_1.3-1_i386.deb 
E: powstatd: unregistered-script-in-etc-init.d /etc/init.d/powerfail
E: powstatd: unregistered-script-in-etc-init.d /etc/init.d/ups-monitor

/etc/init.d/ups-monitor is a symlink to powerfail, and
ups-monitor needs to be in /etc/init.d because that's where
/etc/init.d/halt expects it to be.
