If daemon is configured by command-line option - than that is a flaw of
the daemon, not to be fixed in a bunch of distribution shell scripts.

What we can do here is to better document (suggest) the available
options in the sysconfig file.

And systemd is good at starting services and keeping them alive – that
is its job, it was not designed as a mean of convenient service
configuration. rc-scripts (and other monsters like rc-inetd, rc-boot)
tried to improve service configuration too… and often it didn't work
that well…

That is the 'upstream solution' – to use one the one "$OPTIONS" variable.
All those verbose options I removed were my own invention (for the
init.d script), which never got to Th anyway, so there is nothing lost.
