In my setup I never run install.sh as I run everything out of the
dist/install directory over NFS. Hence, I'd quite like the symlink to be
always be there. However, I can see how this could be an issue for
packaging, so its probably not worth worrying about.

One thing that would be good to fix is make it so that the final 'cp
-fdR $src/* $dst' handles the case where /etc/init.d is a symlink
better. Perhaps a tar | tar would handle this better?

I'll add the other patch.

Thanks,
Ian
