Here's the script I'm using.  I'm not quite sure where it came from any
more.  Perhaps it was from packaged version that comes with sarge.  More
I check about, I think one of my guys created it from the template.

I have a quick and dirty debian package for beta 7 if anybody wants it
(it was made with checkinstall).  Beta 8 wouldn't be much trouble either.
