I said this before, but it sounds useful to try to reiterate:
* It's probable that service-specific files should not be included in
the init system package.
* Service-specific init files should probably be part of the
distro-localized version of a service-providing package.
This doesn't mean modifying binaries, this is part of bootstrapping a
service's environment. Call it "deferred installation stages", if you
like; things which need to be done for the service to be configured
and properly operate.
