There was some discussion some time ago about the proper exit codes for init scripts. From what I remember policy conflicted with the LSB [1] (for that matter /etc/init.d/skeleton still is wrong [2]). Anyway, policy seems to be fixed now (for the stop and start part, not for the uninstalled/unconfigured cases) so I've also fixed my init scripts. Thanks for reporting this.
