Thats not unreasonable to do right now, but it has issues.  Namely, that if a
new package comes along that wants an rc.d script, sushi will have no knowledge
of it, unless we somehow predicted it's arrival before the release. :)

It also might confuse some people, who see "apache" in thier configuration file,
and turn it on, wondering why it doesn't start or work.
