Are you aware that this is the approach that systemd and upstart have
taken, right?
1) Both systemd (PID1) and upstart are drop-in replacement for the good
old SysVinit as they both support the common "standard" that are LSB
scripts (A really good share of the existing LSB initscripts in the
debian archive are just working out of the box).
Well. They're (mostly) a drop-in replacement for sysvrc and its
supporting tools. They're certainly not a *drop-in* replacement for
*sysvinit*, because they don't support all of sysvinit's interfaces;
specifically, they don't support /etc/inittab.
Luckily (for some values of lucky), /etc/inittab was such a terrible
interface (it's unpleasantly reminiscent of Angband's monster, item,
etc. databases) that it seems even most people who prefer sysvinit to
systemd or upstart were using a factory-default /etc/inittab.
