Clemens has a point here: Debian already sorted out all the kinks and quirks of this topic, and implemented the solution in start-stop-daemon.c. Instead of slowly converging towards their result (remaining buggy on the way), we would benefit from their work if our new helpers in rc.d/functions would simply call start-stop-daemon.
