This would leave a daemon's links disabled while a package was being
upgraded. Which could result in it not starting if the system were
rebooted at that point. It would also remain disabled if the upgrade
failed.

debhelper is simply copying from policy 9.3.3.1 here. I am very unlikely
to make a change away from what policy says to do.
