Thanks. I also got the "bright" idea to install a dummy init script
for any distribution other than mine:

do_install () {

  ...

  install -d -m 0755 ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
  if [ "${DISTRO}" = "foinse" ] ; then
      install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/init ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/pulseaudio
  else
      echo "#! /bin/sh" > ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/pulseaudio
      chmod 0755 ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/pulseaudio
  fi
}
