Yes. I almost have everything to start trying to build epoch package,
*except* one important point that I have been asking for. That is the
mechanism to trigger an action to automatically update epoch.conf and
start the daemon when we install all packages with daemons that need
to be started/stopped at boot/shutdown time, *without* including
epoch specific files into those packages. So what I am basically
looking for is totally different approach than what Debian based
distros have been doing for other init systems, so that we don't need
to patch all of those packages with epoch specific files and re-build
them.
You have code that rescans /etc/init.d and parses those LSB-Foo-Bar
comments, is that right? If so, you have three options:
1. Piggyback on someone's post-install hooks.
2. Run inotify() in a patched epoch and watch for file creation in
/etc/init,d
3. Invent a new hook that lets you process ALL dpkg -i calls.
Pick your poison.

Thanks a lot Arnt,
Option 1 is definitely not what I am looking for. Option 2 looks to be
the most elegant solution, assuming that all packages will still
generate their sysvinit files on /etc/init.d.
Cheers,
Anto
