Awesome work. I've been playing with them and they will definitely fit
my needs. They're a huge improvement over the current LFS bootscripts.
I did encounter a syntax error, however. The sendsignals script is
missing ' ; then' after a leading if in two places. This sed fixes it:
sed -i 's...@\]@& ; then@' init.d/sendsignals

I'd be pretty happy if these went into LFS.

I can do without chkconfig. I do miss the ability to list what is
enabled, and only mildly miss the ability to enable/disable specific
run-levels for a given service.
Having said that, assuming it doesn't break any LSB compliance, I'd be
happy to add those features into Dan's tools. As it is, if I begin using
them in earnest, I may just take over maintenance of them.

For my own purposes, as a temporary solution, I've added the following
script to my rpm of your bootscripts:

Thanks!
