This is a start, but is incomplete, from what I can tell. As mentioned in
the other thread, the startup script shouldn't be using /etc/sysconfig/ at
all, in any form. We use /etc/default/ for our startup script config files,
not /etc/sysconfig/. Also, the purpose of this block was clearly to
implement a default configuration, yet the recipe isn't altered to ship a
default configuration to provide equivalent functionality.
