I think if anything you should only enable/start the new service if both the old services were enabled and started already. Think of a user who has the package installed, but disabled the services as conscious decision. After upgrade he suddenly has the service enabled again. Generally we have the policy of not starting or enabling services when installing packages, except for Very Good Reasons (and somebody requesting it somewhere is not necessarily one).
In generally I would agree with your stance. However, google-compute-engine is a package for a very specific purpose, namely the instance initialization and management in Google's GCE cloud. It's not designed to be used outside GCE and is also not of any use there. And in the GCE cloud, the services are necessary to be running such that the instance can be properly initialized. Otherwise it could happen that a user won't be able to login after starting the instance.
