I was just looking at the simpleinit man page and its shutdown process
kills off all the uid => 100 processes before starting shutdown (in late
stages it will kill all processes off as well). Since the daemons
provide their own shutdown procedure, I propose it makes sense to assign
uids < 100 to our init.d-using spells so that they can be properly shut
down.

Is there an easy way to do that? Am I off-base?

I filed a bug and post it here since it covers more than one section.
