I don't remember any other init wanting to use /etc/init.d, EXCEPT
OpenRC, or EXCEPT when they want to use the sysvinit init scripts, and
the only one I know that wants to do that is systemd.

I wouldn't change sysvinit's expected files one little bit. Everyone
assumes that /etc/init.d belongs exclusively to sysvinit. Any change to
sysvinit would require lots of testing, and who needs that headache?

If you leave sysvinit's directories exactly as they exist now,
switching back and forth between sysvinit and runit is trivial. Same is
true of s6 and Epoch.

Because OpenRC has seen fit to intermix their init scripts
with sysvinit's in /etc/init.d, I'd suggest that any files needed by
OpenRC be kept somewhere besides /etc/init.d.
