if you had a customized (read, you edited the file) /etc/init.d/uptimed 
then lunar will not overwrite your init.d script. delete it manually 
before upgrading if you want it replaced with the new version. This is a 
protection mechanism and applies to *all* files in /etc/

I'll add the daemon call as well to the init.d script.
