I don't like it. This whole "register every init script name"
stuff sounds far too bureaucratic to me. IMO there should only
be namespaces registered for init scripts, with the distribution
being assigned the default namespace. So for debian there would
be:

fcron		#debian package
oracle.8i	#oracle LSB package, "oracle" is LANANA registered

(I don't know anything about oracle databases, it's just an
example.)

Since every software author these days (and particularily
commercial ones, which will depend on LSB most) in some fashion
(sourceforge, whatever) owns an internet domain name, even these
could be used (reversed), they tend to be a bit long though.
