What do you mean with "installed by default"? An essential package? Or do you
mean, that i.E. dnscache depends on daemontools by default and is no
standalone package?
I still can't see the point with that consistency. Daemontools is not
intended to be "compatible" to the init.d-Mechanism, so I don't understand
why we have to "make" it compatible. As I said, if someone is switching to
daemontools (as someting like an init.d-Replacement) he knows daemontools and
he knows that daemontools services are controlled by svc and not by init
scripts.
Just to be sure: For what services do you want to make compatibility init
scripts? Only for services originally controlled by init.d-scripts (apache,
proftpd) or also services running under daemontools by nature (dnscache)?
I agree, that init-scripts for services like apache and proftpd are useful.
Maybe there are scripts somewhere calling "/etc/init.d/apache restart" or
something like this and this must still work after switching the service to
daemontools.
