You want to know how to install files for daemons, append information in
other existed packages etc... But instead of creating 1000% packages types
for each distro, you can for example know  that Gentoo and ArchLinux uses
/etc/rc.d/ for init deamons.
You know that Debian, CentOS, RedHat and few others uses /etc/init.d/ etc...


BTW I had a program that created in my ArchLinux /etc/init.d/ and placed it
there, while i was the wrong location.
