we will do like Red Hat, have a link from /etc/init.d/ to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ see this message from Bero@Red Hat :

Sure - rpm has a lot of problems with replacing a directory with a symlink
and vice versa (breaking updates).
We had a hack to allow this sort of stuff, but it was too ugly to keep up
and caused some other problems (I don't remember the exact details).
We've added a symlink /etc/init.d -> /etc/rc.d/init.d, so we aren't
violating FHS.
We haven't decided whether it'll stay like that forever; I think if we can
come up with a good way to support it (without breaking updates, no matter
whether they're done using the installer or using rpm -F), we'll probably
make the change.
