I would like to know if this is a real world problem. Please provide an
example of a package where the init script actually comes from upstream
and is not maintained in debian/*.init and installed by dh_installinit.
Init scripts are inherent incompatible between distributions. One
designed for RedHat or, worse, SUSE will not really work on a Debian
system, due to differences in used tools. LSB tried to standardize
that, but this effort is dead as well.
