AFAIK facility and file names don't need to match - although it probably
makes sense to do so. The facility names $local_fs, etc. are predefined
LSB names which must be accepted by the init system in the
Required-{Start,Stop} headers. Whether you provide a local_fs script or
name them differently is your own decision but it should probably
contain the "Provides: $local_fs" line.
