No. It won't make a difference. Or actually it makes a tiny
difference: check package.bbclass, function named gen_packagevar.

        currently figuring out details of INITSCRIPT_*, and noticed that the

       INITSCRIPT_NAME and INITSCRIPT_PARAMS without inheriting update-rc.d.

Anything using those variables should inherit the class. Otherwise it may not work as expected down the line when things change.

The purpose of the classes for useradd, update-rc.d and alternatives is to help automatically generate the pre/post package install scripts in a standard way.

Eventually I would like to see all of the manual pre/post scripts disappear in favor of class generated. This will help us manage transitions to new technologies such as systemd...

        is that allowed?  does it make sense?  unless the explicit
       do_install() routine in that recipe file somehow takes care of things.

   i'm unclear on what i'm supposed to be looking at in that function,
and how it answers my question.
