The initscript fork is entirely my fault. :( In an earlier Ubuntu release
(Karmic?) we had some very specific design goals about boot speed and
script locations (it was split between initramfs and early boot at one
point and had to have no deps on /usr, etc, etc), and it seemed easier
to do a "minimal" fork of the init scripts to handle all of Ubuntu's
requirements at the time instead of breaking all the other distros and/or
suddenly ditching all the historical checks. Since then, things have
split out a bit more sanely, and I have hope that we're getting close
to being able to have a common initscript again.
