[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#807311: init-d-script: do_reload_sigusr1 sends sighup, not sigusr1

It's pretty common for SIGHUP to reload config as well as SIGUSR1.

So, my suggestion would be define a new way of doing this, file bugs
with patches against anyone using do_reload_sigusr1, and then remove
do_reload_sigusr1.

One way that might be nice is to make a function do_reload_signal, which
would send $SIGNAL (or $RELOAD_SIGNAL) as an argument to
start-stop-daemon.
