It should probably not go in /etc/init.d unless it could be called with init
file syntax on its own and do something appropriate. If it fits the general
format of setting shell variables, /etc/default may be appropriate. If not,
perhaps /etc/<package>/init.sh or some such.
In any case, it should be in /etc, it should be a conffile, and its purpose
should be clear from its pathname.
