Adding OpenRC to the mix (something I'm not familiar with, and I'm not
really interested in getting to know better, either) is an extra burden
I wouldn't want to do myself. I wouldn't say no to a patch adding an
OpenRC runscript, of course, but I'd rather not do it myself.

P.S.: If you're curious, and would like to send OpenRC runscript
patches, syslog-ng-core is the single package in the archive where I
maintain a sysvinit script. ;)
