Right, but if this is the system we are going to go with, we can't let
spells install their own scripts that won't work. My main concern is that
the scripts should work. If the proposed init system has some sort of
support for the other init style, then this might not be an issue. Perhaps
just running the symlinks in order after all other smgl-style init scripts
would avoid any dependency issues.
