There's an answer to that and it's "it doesn't matter" (I tried to point
that out in an earlier reply). On the wheezy system I'm using to write
this, 'init scripts' make up 6789 LOC, nobody has the power to make them
disintegrate and I'd be very much surprised if there are more than 2000 LOC
in there which actually do something useful. Actually, I expect
yes. init scripts should be trivial and if they're not, something else
is amiss.
