Bug Description

net-snmp doesn't currently use lsb-base functions to show its output in the init scripts

$ sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd start
Starting network management services: snmpd.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd stop
Stopping network management services: snmpd snmptrapd.

Also, the init script seems to return 1 when doing "start" when the program is already running, or doing "restart" when the program isn't running..
