I guess this is what was fixed in saucy:
lsb (4.1+Debian10) unstable; urgency=low
[ Steve Langasek ] * Fix the remaining problems of initdutils.py python3 compatibility (Closes: #673586) * Revert unnecessary use of /bin/echo -n (Closes: #708337)
[ Didier Raboud ] * Compress source with xz

So we'd just need backports of the appropriate changes to initdutils.py.
