I'm not so sure about that. What do you think makes it not technically
feasible?
We have historically shipped init scripts with the daemon that they serve, but
there is no reason why we wouldn't be able to change that behavior.
There could definitely be a package "initscripts" that contains init
scripts which call binaries not in the same package.
(in fact...)
