Nope.  It is ment as an option for the packages with simple needs.
Those with complex needs can use it too, probably, but it might be
easier to just keep the current init.d scripts.

Ah, good point.  Added do_start_cleanup and do_stop_prepare hooks to
cater for such needs.

Not quite sure if that is within scope of this mechanism.  Will think
more about it.

Multiple daemons is definitely out of scope.

Why do you believe this is an advantage?
