It's up to you to decide what you want packaged, not us. For example, as
a packager, you surely don't want to use our initscript - you should be
using one that is appropriate for your distro. All the other packagers
manage to make these decisions. Maybe you would get some inspiration
from the spec files used by other RPM based distros.
