I opened a pull request with Chris Lamb to discuss reverting his changes
to the sysvinit scripts in redis-server and redis-sentinel.

We agreed that the functionality is obscure, affected users may be very
hard to find, and any users who are affected can be helped with a
reasonable amount of effort. I closed my pull request until such time as
we discover a user who needs our help. (Note: Chris is willing to help
with sysvinit users too.)

Having investigated the technical issues, discussed it with a very
reasonable maintainer, and come to a reasonable conclusion, I think we
can call this good.

Sorry for the trouble Chris, and thank you for your hard work and
continued support of both the Debian and Devuan communities.
