Not having installed any of the two, I can say, as a Ubuntu user:

In ppa "/etc/init.d/dovecot" is a symlink to "/lib/init/upstart-job"

While xi packages places its own init script there.

Curiously, dpkg on installation seems not to unlink the existing one 
first, but overwrite it with the new contents, thereby destroying 
upstart -- This happened to me last year, I noticed early :)

Last checked in 2.2.22 xi package as seen from the contents, did that 
change?

Possible workaround: remove the stock init file link ahead of installation?
