Now, I've read the arguments, and I am squarely in the 'do one thing and do it well' camp. But, let's turn that on its head, shall we? Why oh why do we want every single package to implement its own initscript and possibly do it poorly?
Umm.. because maybe, just maybe, the package maintainers know more about the ugly details of what it takes to start a given package than the init system authors know? If they botch the boilerplate section of an initscript, maybe they shouldn't be releasing packages. On the other hand, the *non*-boilerplate section of the initscript is something that *only* the package maintainers are qualified to write.
