Is that a joke? I find it hard to tell.
1) https://xkcd.com/927/ (we already had this here, why is it necessary
to reiterate?)
2) metainit (+ dh-metainit)! You don't have to work from scratch. All
you need to do, is pick up where Joachim Breitner stopped.
But I seriously doubt that this will get us very far, cause every time
someone suggested writing a tool for generating init scripts, the
discussion (and implementation) died once someone mentioned metainit. Do
we never learn from history?
