But that's not generally suitable. There may be necessary args
to the daemon, etc. My point is that in general, I, as a generic
Debian sysadmin, expect to be able to start daemon-type things using
"/etc/init.d/foo start".

As I implied (or at least, meant to imply), I didn't expect this is
something for you to do on your own. Mostly I wanted the issues noted
somewhere for future reference. Maybe I'll get ambitious and propose
something.
But please leave this bug open in the meantime.
