For what is worth, this has been discussed at length in #546743 and is
now documented as the #661002 bug against lsb-base.
Please note that #661002 "lsb-base:/lib/lsb/init-functions may fail if
`set -e` is used" is tagged as +help: patches are welcome and could
eventually lead to a fix in policy.
(Deciding whether energy should be put in functions for SysVinit is up
to each reader.)
