exactly, /etc
is GENERALLY for configuration file, or for what is related to
configurations.
init-functions is definitely related to config files...
ok, you are right, but
try to see this from a sysadmin point of view.
somehow sysadmins will have to study all this stuff, and i saw, (talking
with 7 sysadmins, without saying why i was asking this), that
to their mentality it was easier to figure out /etc/lsb
with inside also init-functions.
apart of this, this location made sense to me, but if
there are good reasons not to use it, i know my arguments are just a
matter of taste (like yours, if we come to an end).
