If it is a problem of init script, then it is problem in gentoo. Init
scripts are distribution specific (at last, gentoo has different ones
that other distros AFAIK).

So, if you think it is a bug, put it into bugzilla. In the best case,
someone will do something about it. In the worst case, the bug will be
marked as invalid, wontfix, or something like that. Just don't get
annoyed if someone simply tells it is nonsense, the people going trough
bugs have too many of them and they are not always completely nice.
