I'm aware of BSD-style init, but the mailing-list thread [1] I posted
indicates that Debian GNU/kFreeBSD doesn't use it but instead uses
sysvinit (otherwise they wouldn't care so much about bitrot among
sysvinit scripts nor cite "stay with sysvinit" as among their options.)
In the context of a discussion about Debian, I don't care so much what
the other BSD variants do.
