Hi.

Is there any bigger reason for having the daemon split from its
init files?

Most daemon packages in Debian don't do this, zookeeperd contains
only few small files so there is no real space benefit.


I have absolutely nothing against if you don't want to have the
daemon started just by installing the package, but this can also
be achieved with the init files in the main package :-)


At least zookeeperd should suggest zookeeperd.


Further, zookeeperd has a package description of:
>This package contains init.d scripts to start and stop zookeeper and starts zookeeper on installation.
however it also contains systemd and even still upstart init files
(the later can probably be dropped, now that upstream is dead).


Cheers,
Chris.
