How important is this? We're currently discussing the issues upstream.

Is upstream the right place? I mean unless they create ALL the start scripts (SYSV vs upstart), some customization needs to be done by the packaging teams anyway.

How important is this? Well, it is not hard to do, and it looks much nicer :)

I'm one of the upstream developers and the other upstream developer in the discussion is the main Debian packager. :-)

If you want to write a patch and had a good reason, I think we might accept it - otherwise, I suspect we'd rather not add a new dep (lsb-base) just because it looks pretty.... But if someone writes a patch and tests it, I'm fairly certain that we can make a convincing argument to weasel (the Debian packager/Tor packager in upstream).

I looked into it and it's reasonably straight forward but I'm not going to get around to it in the next few weeks.
