It would be nice if in a next tinc release you'll add some service variables 
tinc propagates to its scripts.
So for example you can define in tinc.conf env variables like:

SERVICE1=
...
SERVICEn=

and tinc will propagates all SERVICEx Variables found in tinc.conf to all 
scripts it calls. One can use theoretically infinite Env Var for custom 
behavior (like custom debug messages, conditional iptables rules load or 
something else), without lot of coding for you.

Using a multi separated scripts called on state change, as you choice, is 
right, but make difficult to set common env var if you don't make a tinc inside 
mechanism like that.

This is only a suggestion, right ?

Thank you
Best Regards

Tinc only sets those environment variables listed in the documentation.
There is no $DEBUG variable or anything similar.
