For sure my installations have /var separated, to avoid
/var/log/syslog growing enough to fill / and thus causing the system
to fail.

The only things I consider to be on root filesystem are:
/ (obviously)
/etc
/lib
/bin
/sbin

Not even /boot, which I use to have in a separated partition
independently in each hard disk, while all the others are in a
replicated RAID among all disks.

From this, I derive that init system files should be in /etc
(configuration) and /sbin (executables). For the sake of keeping
things as they are, shell scripts could continue in /etc as in
/etc/init.d so I strongly raise hand for /etc/orc or /etc/wtf-is .
