BUM is excellent work, I'm glade to see it getting recommended in the recent

Perhaps the best way would be to put up on the wiki a list of all the init
scripts you have currently, along their default descriptions from the
package-cache (as you're doing at the moment):

  dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*[^~] | sed -e 's/:.*$//' | xargs apt-cache show | \
  grep ^Description: | sort -u

Then, I'm sure the Doc team would probably be the best group to update any
descriptions which aren't very up to date and/or friendly.

Hope this is a good start and useful!
