Stop manually diverting start-stop-daemon during bootstrap
See merge request installer-team/debootstrap!145
commit 156e9d81cdaaba466d2cbd317ed4bbccc986e0b4

Stop manually diverting start-stop-daemon during bootstrap
During bootstrap, it is undesirable to let any service start
automatically. A very long time ago services would call
start-stop-daemon directly from maintainer scripts, but that was
replaced with the invoke-rc.d machinery and its companion policy.rc.d
to control whether to honor these actions. So manually diverting
start-stop-daemon has not been needed for a long while now.
This is also problematic because the code is doing a manual diversion,
with neither of dpkg or dpkg-divert being involved, where an additional
upgrade within the bootstrap process might end up updating the
start-stop-daemon file itself, which will then be overwritten by the old
version that was moved aside on restoring it, as noticed in #1121344.
While the removal of the manual diversion could be removed from way
older releases, we go with the most conservative point, where we have
confirmation from old lintian reports, such as:
https://web.archive.org/web/20111109092810/http://lintian.debian.org/tags/start-stop-daemon-in-maintainer-script.html
or
https://web.archive.org/web/20110927025340/http://lintian.debian.org/tags-all.html
Those would definitely match the wheezy release date (2013-05-04), which
is the oldest Debian release symlinked to sid, where squeeze (released
on 2011-02-06) is symlinked to etch.
