It's impossible to do this reliably (e.g. recursively), and the
/etc/default/ file may be sourced by another script.
For instance, /etc/default/cryptdisks is not directly sourced by
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks, but by /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions
(which is itself sourced by /etc/init.d/cryptdisks).
/etc/default/acpi-support is not sourced by /etc/init.d/acpi-support
either, and not by files sourced from /etc/init.d/acpi-support either.
I've found that it is sourced by scripts from /etc/acpi/ but I don't
see how I could do such detections automatically in the general case.
Another example: /etc/default/debsums is provided by debsums, but
debsums doesn't provide an init.d script. /etc/default/debsums is
actually sourced by the /etc/cron.*/debsums files.
