I've finally gotten around to reviewing this, it builds cleanly
and works as advertised (like sysvinit/initscripts, with the provided 
sshd sample script). There isn't a post-install script or info page or
anything--it's seems very straighforward. It has my vote.

One question--since there is now a complete sysvinit framework, are
we going to start encouraging service maintainers/submitters 
(exim, postgresql) to add a /etc/rc.d/init.d/foobar script? Should there
be some new language telling prospective package contributors about this?
