We are wasting a lot of time writing complex init.d scripts when
all these should be automated to begin with. This is error prone,
and gets even more complex if you want to support all what's
needed: the VERBOSE variable, [ -x $DAEMON ] || exit 0, default
files holding DAEMON_START=1 and other options, dependency to
lsb-base, and so much more...
