The `start', `stop', `restart', and `force-reload' options should be
supported by all scripts in `/etc/init.d', the `reload' option is
optional.
Is there any reason not to upgrade "should" to "must"? What is the

general case, only if the time-consuming and
parallelizable part of the build is done in the binary-* targets
instead of the build-* targets. (The build and build-* targets are not
