Wilfred,

Thanks for reporting this.

Looking at the changelog:

pdns-recursor (4.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version 4.3.0, drop upstream applied patches
    (Closes: #957674)
  * Use debhelper v13, bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0
  * Enable Dnstap feature
  * Follow upstream socket-dir path and service user change.
    This also drops the init script: the socket-dir is now in a dynamically
    created path, and pdns-recursor expects to be started as non-root already.
    Both changes are unfeasible to support under a legacy init.

So it looks as if we will have to fork this package to see if we can reinstate a
working initscript.
