    Drop dh_installinit error-handler
    
    SysVinit scripts already fail nicely if NUT is not configured, so this
    is not needed

commit a6d2917bf60badc660e1e78d98904348a8a1603e
Author: Laurent Bigonville <bigon@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 15:01:24 2025 +0200

    Remove wrapper script around upsd and upsmon
    
    Only rely on the error handler from debhelper to avoid failing the
    installation when nut is not yet configured when starting the service on
    SysVinit. On systemd, debhelper is not failing.
    
    Using the wrapper is actually breaking the upsmon -K functionality when
    MODE=none meaning that the power to the machine will always be killed on
    reboot in that case, that's definitely not something we want.
    See: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/2935 for the analysis
