For some case such as init.d scripts it does, for many others it
doesn't.  Anyway, as said earlier, we don't "really need" this at the
moment because init.d scripts are handled otherwise, so I merged your
patch that removes it - we can easily bring it back if needed.

Well, I don't think one string glob match there is really measurable.
Some hairy stuff would be needed in "service" though - I don't think
this is really worth fixing, or at least I'm not going to spend time
doing it :)
