this looks wrong to me. Calling init.d scripts from uci-defaults script
may result (and it results here) in starting uhttpd too early. We need
all uci-defaults script to do their updates before we call any init.d.

I hit this incorrect behaviour as I have my own uci-defaults script
switching uhttpd from port 80 to another one.

If you need some changes applied after *installing* a package perhaps
postinst should be used?

On another note it doesn't make sense to ship package with wrong config
and then always update it with uci-defaults script. Those scripts should
be used only for dealing with outdated configs.

If we always set ubus_prefix to "/ubus" then make it also a default
value in the uhttpd.config.
