Hi! I'm packaging netdump for Debian. The package comes with it's own initscripts, which are RedHat specific. I had used the Debian template for initscript, in my first attempt to package netdump. Using the RedHat version of the initscript (maintained upstream), I edited Debian template, to match the functionality provided by the RedHat initscript. Because of this, I have, now, two copies of initscripts (RedHat and Debian), which my sponsor, thinks, is redundant. The initscripts differ quite a bit, and I am not sure, if one format can be converted to another, using simple commands (and thus, be able to maintain just one copy). How do the other packages, get around this? I would be glad, if you would point me to specific packages, that have a (upstream maintained) RedHat specific initscript within the package source.
