F9 uses upstart to start and stop services on the different runlevels, 
on F8 this is done by sysvinit. The event-compat-sysv package provides 
an a lot of the things that initscripts provided for F8, so this is a 
case of packages that puts the same files in the filesystem (and rightly 
so)..

But perhaps event-compat-sysv should "obsolete initscripts" to make this 
possible? Or are initscripts still used on F9?
