Why can't we just split up functions.sh into "/lib/output.sh" containing the init script independent (but often gentoo specific) output stuff, and have functions.sh source this. Output.sh would be provided by a separate package (why not baselayout) and the packages using those would rewrite their stuff to use the right location.
