I can reproduce this problem in piuparts distupgrade tests, e.g.
  setup squeeze (or wheezy) chroot
  switch to file-rc
  distupgrade to wheezy (or sid)
  switch back to sysv-rc

but not within a distro:
  setup a squeeze (or wheezy or sid) chroot
  switch to file-rc
  switch back to sysv-rc

curiously it also happens after a wheezy->sid distuprade, even if the versions 
of sysv-rc and file-rc are the same in both sid and wheezy
