Please feel free to apply this patch at the next release if you find the idea

Given that work in this arena is ongoing, and didn't make the cut for

I'd like to draw your attention to this bugreport once again. I did some
research and it seems that the upstream developers do not support/distribute
any init.d scripts (even an example one). This being said I am not sure what
"work in this area" you are referring to. Once again I am attaching for your
consideration a new patch against 2.5.2-1.
