Nice ! Thanks Eric.

The biggest hurdle that *every* distribution faces is that every daemon
starting script is specific to the service manager, and supervision
systems do things very differently from non-supervision systems.
And so, daemon packages need to be separated into "mechanism" (the
daemon itself) and "policy" (the way to start it), with as many
"policy" packages as there are supported service managers.
I plan to do this work for Alpine Linux towards the end of this year;
I think most of it will be reusable for other distributions, including
Buildroot.
