Please don't: while this may solve your use case it will break other
more common use cases that are currently working.
Example:
lighttpd installed but disabled by the local admin (K links) but if
service wrapper is used instead of invoke-rc.d the logrotate snippet
will try to signal lighttpd regardless, which should not happen.

on a side note, runit is currently using invoke-rc.d to forward
logrotate actions to runit services, so your change would break that too

Lorenzo
