Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

I was pounding my head against a wall for a few hours trying to get my own 
lsb-conformant init.d-script listed in services-admin.
After a while, I discovered that services-admin uses a hardcoded list of 
supported services in src/common/gst-service-role.c, which is not a feasible 
solution for providers of ubuntu add-on packages.

Thus, services-admin should keep a list of service either in a cache located in 
/var or it should scn /etc/init.d for script using lsb-conformant INIT INFO - 
comments.
Alternatively, a mechanism could be provided to register a new service to 
seervices-admin in a deb-postinst script. Such a mechanism supposedly should 
handle internationalization of service descriptions and custom icons .

** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
