Please note that an initial attempt at syncing debian policy and LSB
including try-restart is already in patches posted on
http://bugs.debian.org/181123
More precisely in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=181123#50
Please review, comment, object, second.
More work might be needed, the above is just a start.
