The usercommands script is just a simple one-liner that I inserted to turn
off my laptop's screen on boot, just before login:

>>CODE<<

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/usercommands
#

# Turn off the display on boot
vbetool dpms off

exit 0
>>\CODE<<

That's all it does.  Is there some way I can re-implement that command to
avoid having to learn how to use LSB tags?  That skeleton file is just
gobbledy-gook to me, and I'm already troubleshooting Netatalk 3 it is.
