No, still sysvinit, though other options are easier if they can use the LSB
comment block.

Actually, those tools likely use the LSB install_initd and remove_initd in some
way or work with the LSB headers in a compatible way to the LSB tools. What I
meant by dynamic is in allocation of symlinks. No more list to keep track of as
scripts have dependency information in the LSB comment block. Installing an
init script is simplified to:
{{{
install -v -m755 foo /etc/init.d &&
install_initd /etc/init.d/foo
}}}
Additionally, if a vendor provides a compliant init script, then there is no
need to maintain our own script as the output should be consistent per the
spec. You could also use tools like insserv or chkconfig (though chkconfig
requires redhat specific comments immediately below the LSB comment block).
This is the last part that LFS has to add to make BLFS capable of LSB
compliancy, without replacing the lfs-bootscripts in BLFS.
The other option I mentioned is to simply add the LSB comment blocks to the
begining of the existing scripts, but then we possibly loose the consistent
look (although I could work around that pretty easily).
