Hmm, I understood

     http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v/sysd2v-0.2.sh

to be the code, and that it's about to be included in the sysvinit package.

If it works well enough, it'll be a handy tool for init script writers, even
though it implicitly validates the existence of something the world could have
been without to start with.
