The comments between "### BEGIN INIT INFO" and "### END INIT INFO" are
comments as defined in "Comment Conventions for Init Scripts"ยน.
Therefore each LSB compliant Linux distributions should know how to
handle those comments.
The keywords you've mentioned are not defined in the specification.
I think it would be the distribution's job to add local extensions (see
specification).
Also the comments are ignored by other operation systems, e.g. *BSD or
Solaris.
Reason, why the Makefile shouldn't install the init script:
- there could be a /etc/init.d/dovecot from a package
- the init script (copied from doc/dovecot-initd.sh) could contain
local modifications
