Strong disagree. This actually is a bug in the initscripts in question
that they return before the service is operational. Fixing this does
not require exchanging PID 1 at all. In fact, there was some posting on
Planet Debian where someone used #!/path/to/some-initscriptwriting-helper
instead of shell for them.
