Umm.. because maybe, just maybe, the package maintainers know more about
the ugly details of what it takes to start a given package than the init
system authors know?
If they botch the boilerplate section of an initscript, maybe they shouldn't
be releasing packages. On the other hand, the *non*-boilerplate section of
the initscript is something that *only* the package maintainers are qualified
to write.
