	Hi !

I don't believe it's a good idea to implement this in the package.

More than an init script, a daemon needs other special tricks, like pid file, 
log file, chroot to "/", setsid etc..

So, it should be implemented upstream first, or simply use the script for your 
own purpose.

I'll add the attached script to documentation of the package.
