I'm on 9.10 and I still have an /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend script, although
it's definitely tailored for upstart usage.  I can send it to you if you
like, but dpkg says it comes from package mythtv-backend:

dpkg -S /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
mythtv-backend: /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend

To see if your package thinks it contains the script:

dpkg-query -L mythtv-backend | grep /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend

That should at least tell you if it was removed from the package or if
something else removed it from your system when you weren't looking.
