Thanks for this valuable guide!!! I found it very easy to read. Epoch raises a question. Should I *need* to be able to replace init scripts on upgrading upgrading? Debian has infrastructure for it. But an admin-configured init system such as Epoch cuts out large swaths of that complexity. I can see how from the distro developer's view, being able to upgrade init scripts with the package it belongs to is beneficial.
