Is it really necessary? I'm not a big fan of abstraction layers. They
usually complicate things instead of making them easier. So far for me
the sysv init process with its start and kill links is sufficient for
all purposes. It's a simple and stable system. Don't add complicated
cruft on top of it.

I never had the need to restart daemons on suspend/resume. But if this
should be supported, then I'd prefer, if extra runlevels were defined
for going into suspend (similar to rc0.d) and for resuming (similar to
rcS.d)

Cheers,
