Assuming it's portable, a `mkdir -p` sounds great. (Or a `if [! -d

That was pretty much my thought, too. It's also what everyone else appears
to do, given the limited time I spent investigating this afternoon.

(At least in terms of *nix-like OSen. Windows doesn't require a -p switch
to make nested directories, but I don't think bucardo.init would work
there, anyway, so that's probably moot.)

I have most of a fix for this ready to commit, and will try to push it
(assuming no objections) before EoB tomorrow.

Do the packagers just use the script in dist/ directly, or do we need to

That question is above my "pay grade", as it were.  I'd expect, though,
that they'd at least base any distro-specific init-scripts on the template
we provided, and would ignore those things either at their own peril, or
with a local fix, no?
