I do see that the arguments against changing all the filesystem
manpages are pretty strong.

It's not quite clear to me quite who the maintainers of the sysvinit
package are - ie, who needs to agree.  I have been following the
sysvinit package for a while now but have not had any time to do
anything particularly useful.  The Alioth group lists a number of
people.

(Actually, I should ask to become a member of the team...  done.)

Ian.
