Often the debian package will add init scripts to what upstream (ie. the nut project) provides. A gross hack would be to leave the 2.7.4 package and then build nut from source with --prefix=/usr (to match the package) and then install over it and then hand-rm files in /usr that were not written by the install. And then hope the init scripts call nut the same way. But really you should get advice from someone who is more debian-clueful, and not from me!
