I'm not sure, and I'm similarly not sure just what the benefits of a LSB
compatible script are here given that several major distributions like
RHEL/Debian have their own thing they're doing and are unlikely to change.
Given that there was recent chatter on removing the Linux init scripts
altogether, I think that the first thing to do here is survey where the
current script and a LSB-based one might fit into current/future Linux
init script plans on the most popular platforms. Your code is interesting
but I'm not sure what problem it's intended to solve yet.
