That's one of the reasons 'initscripts' is now in it's own
package - esp. the Hurd probably needs a completely different
set of initscripts, so it can just supply a hurd-specific
initscripts. Ditto for sysv-rc, etc.

So if Debian/BSD just needs minor changes, it can be done
in the generic 'initscripts' package. If several scripts need
major surgery for BSD because things are completely different
(which I doubt, btw) BSD can just use a different initscripts
package.
