I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think so. We have two main problems. First, The service scripts are POSIX sh, which is better than bash, but still can't easily be parsed for semantic information. Second, if the daemon is "special," then the service script is justified in being similarly unconventional. Unusual runtime behavior can't be statically detected, and I doubt that the well-behaved portion of daemons in the tree is large enough that we can warn about every script that smells a little bit fishy.
