If we want to be able to generate LSB compliant sysv init scripts, the
fields known to metainit should probably include Provides as well.
After all, some daemons don't only provide their own name there, but
also $named, $portmap or $syslog.
Actually, this is a mistake. The provides line in individual scripts
should never use the the virtual facility names. The virtual
facilities are handled outside the init.d scripts. For insserv, it is
specified in /etc/insserv.conf.
Huh? Why shouldn't the init scripts be able to say: I provide
portmap/syslog/named functionality?
Or some other daemon's name (such as openbsd-inetd providing inetd).
Yes, this is fine. Though the current check-initd-order script do not
handle scripts providing more than one facility..
If anything, I would have thought mentioning some other daemon's name
was evil, but not mentioning one of the $* capabilities.
