Isn't it possible to write init scripts that can run on both CentOS and Debian ?
In that case, I think that it would be good to send a patch upstream, rather than
maintaining a separate re-implementation of the init scripts.

Of course, in the short term, feel free to go ahead with a working solution.

For Chris: we are using the pristine cloud-init, but since Ubuntu uses Upstrart,
I guess that the upstream init scripts are contributed by other distributions and
used only there.
